WIP Treasure Island Block House

[Ramirez Noname]

Hi,

A quick run through of the build process for my new terrain piece for "Under The Black Flag" -



the basic shell of the building built with thin plywood walls and wooden skewers for the externals.



The skewers have been scored along their lengths with a hacksaw blade to give them a bark texture.



With the walls and roof completed I made the scenery base. A piece of shaped MDF and a lot of skewers cut and fixed to the base. A sheet of cork to make a small hill and some ready mixed filler to form the contours.



The rear view of the completed building just waiting to be painted.

Enjoy

This looks great. 

I saw a picture of this in my son's Treasure Island book, one night while reading it to him, and thought at the time, that would make a great piece.

You have proven me right.

Really like how you overlapped the skewers.

Can't wait to see it painted.

Thanks,

My secret reaserch has been uncovered - my son has an illustrated Treasure Island Book and thats were I got the basic idea from 

The overlapping on the corners took a long time and a lot of filing but I'm pleased with the end result.

I have posted the painted piece over on the Swashbuckling Board as it is virtually finished.

Probably the same bloody book! His has animals as the characters.

Will look on the Swashbuckling board.
