That's really awesome! I haven't made the leap into pirate gaming but I know my kids would have a ball with it. Someday…

Eric, Absolutely superb layout. I've been following your blog from the Antipodes as you built your fantastic terrain and it is great to see it finally coming together for a game. You have certainly inspired me with what you have created.

Eric,
That's absolutely stunning. I am a follower of your blog and have watched your pirate setup through all its stages of development.
BTW, how about another FIW scenario?

Beautiful board and would be a pirate's treasure chest of fun to play on. Thanks for "shedding" light on this great game.

Just sublime, awe inspiring, if only I could drag the young'uns away from bloody angry birds and / or lego games online…..to see proper art and games in action!

highly inspiring. (Amongst other bits) I like your movement trays.

If someone can do THIS in 28mm it gives me hope to keep pushing on with my 15's.
