Yes, some nice items here.  And the game?  Will that be in 2025?

Lovely stuff!  Great use of that Playmobil boat, do you have plans for bigger vessels?

Oh, and you should run a game in next Ropecon

Thanks! I have a Playmobil ship waiting for when I have the time. I've been seriously considering Ropecon, actually! Hmmmmmmm...

Lovely new additions.
 

Never seen a few of these figures, so thanks for opening my eyes to them.

Um, there's a confusion there, you are probably talking about a game that I wanted to organize 5 years ago.

Boat is amazing, do You remember which playmobile set has it? Or perhaps what was the colour of the boat before converting and painting?

It's apparently an old one, this: https://www.amazon.com/PLAYMOBIL%C2%AE-3053-Playmobil-Pirate-Ship/dp/B00005BN6C so it's Pirate Ship 3053. The boat itself was already brown, I just gave it a few drybrush layers.

Make one! You are more than capable

Make one! You are more than capable

Both valid options, the piece was only 10€! The manufacturer is http://www.exo-terra.com/

Oh, I could, but...

When things are cheap and give such a head start I will always take the easy option.
 

I reckon this one would work well with some that I have that do not really work in my Old West theme (the more 'rounded' ones)...



Maybe two different types for different themes is a good idea.
 



Anyway, when I do make some I shall be basing them on your buttes, Mama.
You do have some lovely buttes....
