Steal away! I wrote it here because I wanted you to steal it 

Gasket rings for water cranes? They're rubber?

Shocking!! I'm I your tester person? See how I make an arse of it then learn from my mistakes!

Gasket rings? Is that like rubber washers? How do you get your paint to stick without flaking off?

I don't want to play in that game
How many dabloons would it cost to add it to your crew

I was thinking a game with the monster would be a game for someone in our campaign to beat up to gain money for their crew and catch up with whoevers winning.

Tentacled monster from the deep, eh?

Reminds me of this beauty:

love the monster/tentacles ideas...

this may be a bit later, but Blacktree Design do a gibbet in their Tony Ackland range... coincidentally order it myself today...

Fram-that was the topic that got me thinking of doing my own, gaming, version. Thanks for the links again.

Cheers for the heads up EG. It's very easy to make your own if you've got sone thin plastic card. I just realised, I've got their guy hanging from the gallows model.

ah... I reckon I could escape from yours and I'm no slim jim

There are two things on that model that just really blow me away: The water (IN-CRED-IBLE! The texture! The gloss! The incredible colour! The perfect shapes! Just the right amount of transparency!) and the texturing and sheen on the tentacles themselves.

That guy took years to do that diorama. There's no way I'd be able to compete with someone like that. His took a lot of planning and he had to make a mould for his waves and cast them up. Of you go to his blog you realise how far he's gone. There's fish in that there water!!

Anyway here's my pall comparison







I filled in the solder rings with polyfilla and drilled a hole in the centre for the sucker.

I've got a few more already on the table made using scraps of foam. I'll get them finished soon.



Cheers!

We're doing a 'pirate weekend' in June 2012 - you're happily welcome to stick by.

Hey, for a quicker job, those tentacles actually look great! Nice wet sheen texture and the suckers look just fine.

[Andym]

Pirates? Do you need pirates for a pirate game?

Thanks guys!! The tentacles are nearly finished. I'll show them all once they're painted. For the time being I've been working on a ship for my crew. Myself and my brother had built ships previously for a role playing game, but I thought my one could do with an overhaul....







Anything that's painted belongs to the original ship. The masts have been moved about from the original, cut in half, bound together with string, crows nests added and extended. The basic ship shape was quite boxy at the front so I've tried to add some spars and some detail to the bow to make it less noticeable.

Anybody got any advice?

"Anybody got any advice?"

Build two

It does look a tad top heavy though
