Link to my Flickr page for my Freebooter's Fate figures (poor quality pics I'm afraid) and the WIP gaming board.

edit: for pics see page 2

Very nice. The minis are great and it looks like you will have quite a lot of nice looking jungle for the game. I like El Dragon a lot, looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks. El Dragon is a megablocks ship I think, so will be a bit more difficult to convert than the 2 Playmobil ships.
Work continues on the buildings to go on the board, pics to follow when there's something interesting to see.
-
Updated WIP pics.

Another update on the above link. Hope to get some paint on stuff over the coming week.

Looking reallg good. There are some lovely substantial buildings there and it should be a great gaming board :D

Looking good, can't wait to see it finished.
-
Very nice work, the models are nice to
-
yes, the board is coming along nicely, and good job on the figures, too.
-
Thanks for the nice comments peeps.
Another update added. I didn't like the finish on the fortress walls, so decided to add greyboard to the outside and then scribe stonework in with a pencil. Added a few extra stones, so that the surface isn't totally flat. Will add a thin polyfilla wash to add some texture before painting. Also added a couple of sentry towers - after spotting them on a thread on here - they were just what I wanted, but I really didn't want to scratchbuild them, so was going to go without them
Have also added some figures to pics to show building size.

Can't work out how to put the pics direct to here :?
This thread explains exactly how to do it.
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=12296.0
Looking through other people's albums on image hosting sites can be a bit like wading (slowly) through treacle ;)
So if you can manage to directly post a few of your pics here on LAF, that'd be great :)
Bon chance!
-
Thanks Capt. Tried it - but it doesn't seem to work with flickr :?
-
Weird... :?

This should be a pic of the board. Fingers crossed.

ooh ooh ooh how did you do that? :o
Thank you, but I really would love to know how you took my pic that didn't work and make it show... I have loads more pics and would like to put some up.

Flickr does work - use the "Share This" menu on the top left of each photo, open the "Grab the HTML/BBCode" part, and select "BBCode" at Medium size.
Nicely done scenery so far - where did you get the palm trees?
-
Thanks Wl, I'll try that here. The palm trees were from ebay - I got 100 of them. Add to that 15 banana trees, a pack of GWs jungle scenery, about a dozen jungle scenery bases from Wargames Workshop, some aquarium plants and some old GW plastic jungle trees and I think I'll have enough for the 3 boards I'm planning.
Let's see if the picture works...
Ahh, don't put it in the "insert picture" box and it seems to work :)
-
Right then - having finally cracked the "how to get my pics in a thread" puzzle ... for those who don't want to go to my Flickr page, here are some shots from start to present:

The wreck of the Hesperus, fisherman's cottage and Pirates.
Now at the stage where it needs paint, sand and water....
-
Plaster, paint and sand added over the last few days. Pics to follow later this week.
-
This is all looking very good. Nice shipwreck too! Look forward to seeing more. :)
-
Okay, this weeks updated pics. All buildings are now painted, just a bit of touching up to on them. The first layer of sand has been added, gonna need another layer at least (may have to paint the sand as well, as the colours underneath are showing through).

Nice walls Thargor. :)
I still have to finish my "fort under construction", your pics give new ideas.
-
Very nice. Absolutely admire the idea of a wrecked ship turned into housings. Immediately put the Monkey Island tune to my lips. :D
-
Cheers guys. Just basecoated the wreck and ship. Tomorrow I've got to cut perspex to fit around the edges so that I can add the water effect.
-
Looking great so far. What make is the plastic ship in the foreground of the first pic?
-
That's a playmobil one. Haven't got round to cutting the perspex, so will have to leave that until next weekend and hope that it doesn't leak when I add the water effect.
-
And the last ship on your Flickr page, is that the Playmobil Corsair? :P
-
It's another playmobil one, not sure which, it came from ebay for £5.

Gaming Table and figures as seen in participation games at Warfare 2010 in Reading last weekend....
