This looks interesting. Do you have any particular plans for its eventual use?

Thanks for the comments, it'll be used as both an inspiration piece and as a game board for 28mm pirates (see this thread). I've noticed that if I have a game board at hand and I can see the progress of a project, it tends to inspire me to work on it more.

It's nice that you are still working on new stuff. I started following your blog long ago when you where painting zombies :) Pirate is another favourite theme of mine. I will keep an eye on it (lost hte other one in a freak parrot accident ;) )

Cheers Cherno (and sorry for the late reply, completely missed this)! Haven't been painting zombies for a while, although some undead pirates are in the works... It's great to hear that people are still reading the blog!

Work continues, here's a stable block from Warbases. Looking to paint this soon, replaced the laser-cut textures with coffee stirrers as wasn't too fond of them.

This is shaping up nicely. I like the multiple textures you've used.

Awesome work!  I really like the basing too - the multiple tone gives it that beachy look.   :-*

I really like the looks of this!  May even inspire me to finish my pirate project.   :)
