Bollocks!!!!!!!



My layer of polyfilla/PVA wasn't enough!! :( I should have painted the foam parts by hand first then spray painted the rest!! I'll need to re-do the lower walls and chimney!!!

Ah well, lesson learned!!

Eroded by salt sea spray, obviously.  You do see coastal buildings and gravestones with that sort of effect.

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

Ill go back and fix it properly but in the meantime, I finished building the grog stand.

This is what I was aiming for...



And this is how it turned out....







I used this guys technique to build the row boat...

http://boringmordheimforum.forumieren.com/t4364p25-another-attempt-at-a-pirate-ship

I couldn't think of any easier way to build a boat without it looking too flat. He uses his technique to build big galleons but it does work for smaller ships too. You need to take your time and glue a few balsa planks in place and let it dry properly before you cut them to size and start on the next planks!

The barrels are plastic ones from Renedra and that's greenstuff I used to make foam coming out of one of the cups. Does grog have foam?

Wonderful, can't wait to see it all painted up. I love the little ship weather vane.

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