Oooohhhhhh!!!! That's really good!! :o

My brother and myself have been struggling to come up with a harbour design/feel that we both like. I can see us stealing inspiration from your great work! Are your buildings scratch built or bought? Care to share any secrets how you make them and are you working to any plans?

Lovely, something amazing. Any information about how did you create it is really welcome. The same for painting: really atmospheric. How did you do that?

Loving that board :-* :-* :-*
The buildings are fantastic. Are they bought or scratch built?
Paint jobs are outstanding as well.
Where did you get the cobble stones from?

Holy crap!
I made some Styrofoam buildings a while ago that I was pretty pleased with.
Compared to your buildings they're garbage!
Even the streets, side walks and harbor areas look great.
Those are fantastic.  :-* :-*

Nice miniatures too!

Nice pirates ...and GREAT buildings :o

This town could do well also for 19th century horror scenarios.

Would like to know how you made them! ???

Thanks for the motivating replies. Really appreciated.  :)

All of the terrain is scratchbuild. I'll try to do a tutorial for the next building. Most of the materials that are been used is foam, balsa wood, plaster, foamboard and cardboard.

We also started ou campaign recenlty. Here's the first scenario : The Royal Navy attempts an ambush on a tavern full of pirates. Inside, they have one agent who tried to get some info out of them about some Spanish gold. The pirates will have to escape from the village, while  the English will try to capture as many of them for later interogation.


The navy approaches safely under cover of dawn


The first escaping pirates confront the navy troops


Mr Rendall, the first mate tries another route.


And gives a hand to Meadows (the one legged man), who has a hard time with the agent


All ways will be blocked for Rendall except the southern road.


A view of the village.


Meadows escapes to the north


but shall be captured in the end by the agent and the red jacks.
