Blood & Plunder: Building a port

[Furt]

I've become inspired into modelling action by Blood & Plunder - which looks to be the age of sail ruleset I've always wished for.

I was so inspired, that I have been jolted out of my fugue state and actually done some scrathbuilding!

This is the first piece for a demo table I intend to use at a local con.

I've done a short tutorial with more pictures for those interested on the blog http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/blood-plunder-port-gun-battery.html

Blood & Plunder's current Kickstarter is well worth a look. It has a few more days to run and can be checked out here:

Very nice Frank, a lot complicated build than it first looks. The end result is excellent.

 Looking forward to seeing more of the project.

That's a very nice gun platform Frank. Great work

Very impressive!

A really nice piece of terrain. Also the instructions on your blog were really helpful. I have to get me one of those cake stencils.

[Sir_Theo]

Stunning work.

I have also failed to get a game of B&P played despite really liking it from a read through. This sort of stuff is very inspiring !

Thanks for the kind words gents. 

Blood & Plunder is really a very nice set of rules, I can't praise it higher. The ships are amazing and the minis ain't too shabby too.

It is easy enough to just draw the bricks by hand too, but if u want a uniform look the stencil is just too easy. It was bought on eBay and is actually called a cake embosser.

Excellent battery.
Look forward to seeing what you build next.
It is always a treat.

I moved on to the port wall and gibbet.

A small tutorial for the gibbet's construction on the blog http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/blood-plunder-port-wall-gibbet.html

The stonework looks great, that cake embosser thing is a fantastic find.

Might have to rummage through the local craft store's baking section sometime soon to see what I can unearth!

The buildings in the far background in that last photo look good, got any better photos of them?

Thanks all, nice to see some friendly faces (avatars) here.

I got mine through eBay, but have seen them in shops too. They come in all kinds of shapes including cobblestones. Some shapes can be a little large though.

Thanks, there are some closer pics http://adventuresinlead.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/houses-for-18th-century-horror.html

I'm not sure if I'm using them now because I think I want a distinctively looking Spanish town, but is a shame since I have them already.

Those are great buildings (even of they are not exactly Caribbean looking  ).
