Welcome ye to the Spanish Main!
« on: July 04, 2010, 02:20:57 PM »
Again, having just posted my first thread in the Wild West section, I am very pleased to have found this forum - Pirates being another project I have on the go.   For progress todate, please see my thread

http://s3.zetaboards.com/The_Ammobunker/topic/7353588/1/

But here are a few progress pics so far....















Early days yet, but I look forward to sharing ideas with you guys....


Sorry to change the thread name but starting a post on this forum has forced my hand into naming the port!

Yup - they're pretty sweet to use.

The flag flooring is from Tabletop games, as will be the buildings though I will also scratch a few.

Awesome! I very much look forward to seeing this stuff develop. It's Tabletop World, by the way. I can't wait to see the Ruined Coaching Inn painted.

So it is - oops!

Anyway, I have the full inn, merchant house and smiths to paint up too, they'll all get done together.  Beautiful models all of them - I just wish they did more!


The tree is one of the various ones available from Pegasus models - very sweet.

Cianty has posted the link mate.

Mattias - starfish/ seaweed yes, out of greenstuff.  Shells - no.  A bag of small shells (fousands of 'em!) will set you back £2.50 from Hobbycraft.

Fantastic work! I love all of the little details like the high tide water stains.

True.  To be fair though, the ruined inn and the forge come on their own base.  I've used about 2 ½ bags of flooring so far.  I have enough left to go either side of the back of the "canal".  I can well recommend it though, cleanly cast, free of release agent, easy to carve up for tricky fits etc.

Ta.

Started to paint the sea.  Not too adventurous with this.  It's meant to be in the Caribbean so blue sea is fine.  Brush strokes should be hardly noticeable once I put a layer of "water effect" on it.

Are you going with some sort of resin or a clear varnish?
