Hmmm...maybe sooner than later depending...

Does anyone know of 28mm pirates burying or hiding treasure?  Spades etc

I know Dixon did a set but I need something a little bigger.  Cheers

Didn't Old Glory have a set? They have a UK distributor.

I may have struck lucky on that front....cheers

Between painting Naps and Working, not much time for a major update, but I am now inclined to resurrect this thread properly.  I will be painting just figures for the time being as I don’t want to disturb my recent mojo for my Nap project....

Anyway, here is my first

So, I’ve been sorting through my big box o pirate stuff.

Tabletop world houses to paint (not shown here the wrecked inn).



My boats.  I think the first I will paint will be the man o war.   I may just paint it rustic grey like the merchant.  There are various masts etc for the raft and small boats.



And a small selection of dockside cargo and booty.  I think I have more somewhere...but the idea is the dock will have big stacks of this stuff (I may need to get more) along with fishing nets etc for the lived in feel. 



Nice summer project.

If you paint the houses on the standards of your Badgers Chuff project it will great!
A very promising project, really!
I'll be following with great interest! Cheers!

Go big or go home I say!

Thought these, sitting in port would be a good setting for a quick FFoL game, ahead of me deciding what rules to play with for future stuff.  I will need to paint a few more pirates too....

Also, in keeping with my recent desire to cross my projects, there are a few pirate minis among the Badgers and Burrows collection.  A port would be a good setting to play them too.

Ok…I need to buck up my ideas! Lol


Have a friend staying so thought we’d have a go at FFoL….Pirates!

Only problem is, not enough minis…so quick fix tonight and rush paint job.



Pics from the game to follow once we’ve played it!
