The plaster isn't watered down. Just apply it straight from the bucket with a large brush and the sponge soaks it up.

Thanks for that Andym

Andy you're a star!!!

Funny thing though, because my group and I have just decided (for the third year in a row) to start pirate gaming!
So far aiming on June 2012.

Looking forward to following your progress and maybe even seeing some of it in November.  :)

Cheers guys!

Has anybody ever tried to make a sea monster for their pirate game? I'm thinking of Pirates of the Carribian here with maybe tentacles coming out of the water?

How would you make one and how would you use it in a game?

We discussed this only yesterday and the way I'm going to go about it is making a squid head and 8 seperately based tentacles.

In game it'll be a warband with the head as a leader and a rule of coherency (7'' or so). We're using Songs of Balds and Hemos


What would be drastically fantastic was to make the tentacles flexible some way and let them wrap around ships and boats!  lol

Second island finished...



I really like Dr The Vikings idea for the monster, making it on several bases and treating the tentacles and head as another crew. I hope you don't mind me stealing that idea Dr?

I've tried making a couple of test pieces and if these work I'll make the rest of the creature. This is hopefully just a start....



The main body is pink foam but couldn't think of anything else to use for 'suckers' than solder made into rings and glued on.  Hopefully when they're covered in polyfilla they'll look more natural. Does anybody have any better ideas I can steal?.

I think if I get to try any other tentacles I'll make them more 'bendy' looking.

tentacles look great.. for the suckers solder bent into rings sounds easy enough, but if you cant be bothered with all that bending why not use some
rubber 'O' rings you can get a pack of a couple of hundred assorted ones off ebay for a few quid
