The upper chamber could well serve as the Governors daughter bedroom, or as the Governors wargaming playroom, whatever you prefer!
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. – Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi

WOW!  You have a true talent - well done!  Can't wait to see the entire town laid out.  Way to go!

Well, even I can't wait! You know, I have to see the entire town (or its most Spanish-looking houses) since the battle of... Talavera!  lol
I mean that I don't want to test your patience and if I had my houses handy, I would be glad to share with you pics of the entire town laid out right now! But as I have no storage room, every time I make an item, this is stored to Miltiades basement (a few miles from my home). Miltiades is my best wargaming mate, but we have not the opportunity to meet every day...
The promise exists: On May 20th we are going to have a grand pirate game -and many pics of course!

Here are just a few of the houses, from our Talavera V&B game

The back side of the house. I use to make one of the four sides of each house very "flat" so that I may arrange two of them to sit back-to back.
Also, a detail of the cellar. With the first opportunity I would like to make a small mouse running through the iron bars  :)

Be careful though, cause the trunk is a dried trunk from grapes, so don't pull too hard  lol

You know what they say: "Love makes you feel weightless!"  :D

EDIT: I bet there's an old secret underground passage to the cellar anyway...  ;)

Thank you! I hope I didn't tire you all with this picture heavy thread, this IMHO is the best one I've built.

No no, not at all, more pictures please.

The Governor's Daughter by Black Scorpion...

DintheDin, please note that her dress has the same rose motif of your amazing climbing rosebush!  ;)



And that's a secret passage for sure!  :D

EDIT> this GREAT thread makes me seriously consider going back to Pirate Adventure games!  8)
