Ooh. a tiki bar :D :D ;D ;D lol lol

Sorry Muty old chap - just had to continue the joke :)

Think how much of the palace would have been done if you had not started this one :o

Bloody lovely as always. I think you are going to need some more terrain boards to accomodate all your town very soon.

Every time you put up a new building I think "hmmm, that's my favourite so far".  Lovely details.  Is the table a scratchbuild or a purchase?

Excellent! This time the building well outshines the occupants. Great touches of detail, what it's all about for me  :-*

Today I had a day off from construction and played a game. I will post an AAR shortly on the swashbuckling board. :D
