This is a great thread that I have only just stumbled upon.

Great scratchbuilding and the pimping of those MDF buildings is excellent.
Good find with the aquarium piece too.

This is going to be a lovely board when you have finished.

Thank you everyone for the kind words! For a picture of the table (well, tables in fact) in action:

Very nice. Period texts says that planks (for walls) and wood shingles (for roofing) were in great use in villages and small towns in French Caribbean colonies as St-Domingue etc c.1700. Stone masons were rare and more expensive to pay than carpenters (as there were many former ship carpenters amongst the people there).

Figures! To be honest, I've mostly used pop culture references, especially the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag game. Then again, they seem to have done their research! Here's a screenshot of the game, and behind this link you can find a bunch more that I've used as reference.

Hmmm.....

That is enough of that now.
You are giving me ideas.

I fully understand. The Assassin's Creed games are dangerous when it come to getting ideas ('Unity' had me getting ideas for a 28mm Revolution-era Paris city board).
