Cheers - update soon.  Shocked to hear though that Tabletop World are no longer making any of the buildings that I bought for this!  Looks like I was lucky to get them!

Yea...I find that odd that a company who makes terrain won't sell their buildings...  ???
I was looking to buy that Inn myself...

That probably means that the molds are shot.

I heard that they changed the moulding machine, and all the old moulds are unusable, but making new ones is more expensive than sculpting new stuff...

Sorry for the lack of progress - we'll try to do something about that....

Just sat down today to start converting this megablok ship.  Planking will look a little rustic but hey ho! lol




Christmas pressie from a friend after I told him I wanted a governor's mansion.  This will sit on the board behind the "canal".  I will be covering it in vines / tropical flowers and climbers and surrounding it in palm trees.  Courtyard to be fron the same Tabletop stones used elsewhere.   Needs chimney pots and a nesting bird but lots of open area for swashbuckling over!

That's a nice building. Tabletop stones? Not familiar with them, are they similar to Hirst Arts pieces?  :P

Had a close call with a little high explosive earlier this year whilst reenacting a pirate skirmish ok Merseyside(I'm the guy in yellow with red bandana) in the jolly boat!






Anyway, I haven't done owt with this project for a while but did buy a couple of Ainsty ships so I'm scrapping the plastic ship in favour of this.



Don't expect miracles but I will be doing more to the post shortly once I've cleared a few Wild West models......

Looks splendid.  I think I've narrowed down why I don't like my board yet - lack of big proper harbour/pier.  I think that'll have to be rectified in short order.  Time to start buying some stonework I guess.  :-*

Good to see you back in the groove. And in one piece  ;)

So was that splendid looking Governer's mansion (from all that time ago!) a scratchbuild?

Using Hirst Art bricks - yes.
