This project is getting better and better... Thanks for sharing sir!

Where from are these boats by the way?

I cincerely, and I mean this, leave desolace Kansas, and move to Sweden. We need you here. Bring your stuff. I think that we could swamp this poor little country with Pirate gaming together!

Galland,
You don't know how much I would like to do that. However the way people are migrating out of the Mid-Western US it might be just as easy to move all of Sweden here.

elhion :
the first two pictures are of The Miniature Building Authority boats. The third is a handy little Games of War tender. The Last is from Ainsty terrain company.

Prize awards:
A prize vessel from Old Glory Shipyards was awarded to the most Successful player, the captain of the French Frigate who used a burning schooner to ignite the British ship of the line.
The unluckiest captain by popular vote was awarded a 5th of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum and a set of pink child floaties after having his merchant ship taken as a prize by pirates. Left adrift on the damaged pirate sloop where upon rowing to a pygmy savage infested island his remaining crew recovered a lost Inca treasure. After loading it into the longboat his remaining crew were eaten by Cannibals. Alone the Captain in the longboat pulled for the closest French port. Just yards from shore he was intercepted by cutthroat smugglers where he was challenged to an honor duel for the treasure. Consequently both combatants were Mortally wounded. The crew now without leadership mutinied and left with the treasure never to be seen again.

Florescent light panel covers. I spray paint blotches in two tones of blue on the smooth side then turn the textured side up. They come in 4ft by 2ft sections for about $7 a panel.

Galland has already asked me to become an Ex-patriot, very tempting but the game requires a u-haul trailer just to take to a convention. Not sure how I would get it overseas

. Anybody got a cargo plane I could hop a ride on?

Thank you all for the complements.
