The HMS Penetrator (Sloop Model)

[Furt]

What a beautiful looking Firelock Games sloop! I have 2 of them myself - they really are great models.

Your games and blog has always been an inspiration for me on how to run a proper game of pyrates. Keep it up and I hope you get back to it soon.

Thank you Furt, That means a lot to me. In the last four years I had forgotten the joy of model building (for games), but more so I missed adding to the community of Pirate gamers, Old West terrain enthusiasts, and other random gaming pieces with bad puns, euphemisms, and awkward humor for names. Covid and a couple of college degrees later I hope to get back into building and I hope it does inspire people to create their own works, because those works inspires me.

15's Away,
My condolences for your acquaintances, comrades, and community that have past. May their memories inspire your works on your journey onward.

Terrible to hear stories of gamers lost too soon.  I'm not too far away, here in San Francisco, and had been planning for 3+ years to start a D&D campaign.  We just had our first session last month, but one of the original gang has past away to cancer.  Really rotten news.

Always welcome a new ship picture to inspire fine works. But "Pancakeonions" sounds like a better story.

I wish there was a good story there...  But 23 years ago, as I was trying to set up an online account to play Starcraft, user name after user name was taken, so I finally typed in nonsense (pancakeonions) and got the "OK bub, that's not taken!" message and voila.  I've been pancakeonions ever since.  And hopefully for many more years to come!
