Title: Pirates of the Cari-BLAM-ean. (Desert Island 4/10)
Post by: Andym on August 02, 2015, 10:07:03 AM
Hi all.

Well BLAM 2015 is only 2 months away! :o......And we've got some stuff to do.

The plan is to have a big game involving all the guys still left on the Sunday to grab a crew and participate.

I've got to build a ghost ship and add an area of coastline to my 7th Voyage board.

First up part of the coast. The base is hardboard. Foamboard for the dunes and then liberally covered in polyfilla. Still wip.  The ocean will be glossed and some silicon for the waves. The sand's still to be painted and reeds added all along the shoreline.

Love the job on the submerged rocks going down from the outcrop - really has a good illusion of depth.

Ah (or should that be 'arrrrr'?) - so it is happening then :)

Right then Andy, better tell us what we need so we can get organising.

Will also have to revisit the list of games proposed, as we won't need quite so many if we're going to try to rope people into mass pirate action on the Sunday.

Let's follow up on it in the BLAM user group.

But loving your build shown here so far.

Ha!

I distinctly recall playing on those terms in a pirate game at an earlier BLAM... for several minutes.  lol

Not quite mate. I'm afraid 'real life' problems have got in the way, but I'm still trying!

I think I'll go for that  :D

Looks great mate, are you going to do some whispy trails out the bottom to hide the wires?

cheers

James

Thanks jim.

Thats a yes. I've got a bag of cotton wool to use as mist and fog. It should look as though the ship is coming out of the fig when its finished!

Looks great so far, what/who are you going to crew it with?

Cheers Nick!

I've  got some old ghost figs from my days of playing Warhammer. Now repurposed and painted for this.....

Thanks Jim. Do you think he enjoys doing that to people that leave building/painting to the last minute?

Wonderful!

Ta much Karl!  :)

I'm a wee bit further forward again, from yesterday. The back is now done and I've a bit that'll go in front of the wheel, a wooden skull. I'm thinking i might put an open book (book of the dead or something) instead of a ships wheel.

Really great work! Like the result very much.

I don`t know if you are already planning it, but while watching yout pictures I got the feeling, that the rear railing looks a bit "empty" on Top. Lots of old ships had this cool Lantern on the backside of the bridge which would look great to the overall look of this model.A second remarkable thing on ships are the bells. Maybe a demonic ghosty version of such a bell would looks great!

Something like this:

Too bad you don't have more time. It would be cool to try and hide the supports with some sort of fake lightning/electrical crackle effect.

Thanks yet again Nick! ;)

Really great work! Like the result very much.

I don`t know if you are already planning it, but while watching yout pictures I got the feeling, that the rear railing looks a bit "empty" on Top. Lots of old ships had this cool Lantern on the backside of the bridge which would look great to the overall look of this model.A second remarkable thing on ships are the bells. Maybe a demonic ghosty version of such a bell would looks great!

Something like this:

Cheers Delta

Thanks Deltadog! I did have one, half made, but i didn't like how it turned out. If i get more time I'll make a new one with skulls and stuff over it. The bells diffinately a great idea too!

It's got a name plate has it got a name?

DAM IT! If I'd thought about it, i could've had a name plate and a plate to say what port it's from. It could've been "Ghost Ship" from "The Isle of Wight".......get it?.......wight?...ghost?.......Dam, I'm wasted being an electrician! ;)

Too bad you don't have more time. It would be cool to try and hide the supports with some sort of fake lightning/electrical crackle effect.



Nae worries mate! The plan is to use cotton wool around the base to make it look like the ship is coming out of the fog. The supports will be hidden.

It's a great idea and well done.If I'm honest,I wouldn't have based it like that(only because I wouldn't have thought of it,I wish I had though)
Look forward to seeing it in paint.

Dang! I wish I'd seen that before i started Constable. I may have built the full hull as opposed to cheaping out and making only half! Thanks for that! Maybe on the next one.....

If you've got time (snigger) how about giving capoc or hamster bedding a go, it's less clumpy than cotton wool.

I wouldn't worry too much though. Chances are it'll only get used once for this pirate game at BLAM anyway ....and then just gather dust on a shelf!

If i ever do it again, i think id change the waves. I'm not sure they worked out as well as planned. I've still a few coats of gloss varnish to put on as well.

How about 'joining' the waves together with thinned down water effects so it blends them in a bit more?

Thanks Jim.

My water effects consist of cheap gloss varnish and cheap clear silicon (with a touchnof polyfilla for the foam of the waves) I'll put a couple more coats of varnish in to see if that makes the transition less drastic mate.

nice work I Love the high tide mark :-* :-* :-*

Ta Colin. I'm afraid I don't get the green fingers bit though.....

Heres a couple more pics. This is the other set up. This will probably be the set up when used for 7th Voyage games.

Be warned its actually a nudist beach!

My thinking with the original arrangement was to make the profile the least as poss from the side. When its on our  boards theres going to be a weird area where a ship will leave one board only to strike the side of this board!
