Grog most definitely does not have foam - unless something terrible hilarious has happened.  ;D


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

stunning work.

However, the pot and plant has me confused. A pirate with green fingers ?
Could be wormwood. psychadelic grog anyone ?
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I'm afraid I was too late to ask Santa!! ;)


The local department store has a starter airbrush for only £8...

Don't know if it's any good.

But a little business advice: If I were selling booze to pirates, I would not advertise the fact that it was watered down.  :)

Watered down? The two barrels are both going to be grog, one with two skulls on it and one extra strength with three.

Grog most definitely does not have foam - unless something terrible hilarious has happened.  ;D
 

Ah well, somebody's being blowing bubbles in his pint! ;)

stunning work.

I quite fancied having anything I do for this colourful and cheerie. Just a change from everything being dark and sinister. I've had enough of 'In the grim darkness of the future....' stuff.


My wee pirate house is all painted up now....













...you can't tell but the wood on the ship part and the roof tiles are all different colours but I seem to have lost some of them with my camera!
Cheers for the nice comments guys!

How did you build those round ship-like windows? All from card? Looking very good!

Meant to ask what are the two wooden bits either side of the door?

Yeah...eh...thats....what they're meant to be. I wouldn't just glue bits on willy-Molly in the hope that it looked right!! ;) ::)

@Dr. The Viking- what's a 'pang' colour? Is that something to brighten it up?

@Admiral Benbow- the windows are indeed card. Cereal box card. Cut using a circular cutter with wee bits of solder wire for hinges and rivets.

Thanks again for the encouraging comments guys!!
