Treasure Island Block House

Hi,

The completed block house for "Under The Black Flag" - all ready for storming or defending.







Just have to give it a coat of matte spray when the weather warms up a bit.

Miniatures are mostly Foundry and a Crusader gunner

Hi,

Thanks for the thumbs up, Guys.

I have to admit, I'm looking forward to gaming with this terrain piece - just got to revamp my fifteen year old jungle pieces now.

Great work. A small consideration...add some scraggy vegetation, vines, etc., as it describes the block house as having been in dis-use for some time and we all know that jungle vegetation grows very quickly. Otherwise fantastic work. I really like how your bases on the figures match the base on the block house. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,

I really like the stockade. It does look a bit too nice according to the book, but that's easily sorted with some scrub brush and maybe a judicious wash or two.

Treasure Island is one of my all-time favorite books from childhood and I still pull it out once in a while myself. Has anyone ever seen the version with Charlton Heston as Long John? It was done as a TV movie here in the states in the 1980s. I absolutely loved it, but sadly it doesn't ever seem to have been released on DVD.

Yes, it is my favourite version. Has a great cast, including Christian Bale, Christopher Lee, Oliver Reed, Richard Johnson and Julian Glover. I still have an aging VHS copy recorded off the telly. Really is a shame you can't get it on DVD.
