Hi Folks

As part of the build something contest here on the LAF I have set myself the wonderful task of building 3 metres of coastline including, cliffs, forts,harbours, sandy shores and an estruary. - Oh yeah I have 4 weeks to finish...

Your support is welcome plus ideas.

You can follow all the progress at www.shedwars.blogspot.com







cheers

Eric

Looking forward to coming over and having a game on this when it's completed. :)

That's looking great - including the giant squid - olive oil, a little flour, salt and pepper and your pirates can have a giant mezze  lol

Fantastic stuff  8)

As Galloping Major has said the boat comes from Ainsty Castings - its a bit of a beast ! I am looking forward to rigging this up and painting it.

Shall be watching with interest, Giles.

This looks very promising. And the use of marine creatures is a very good idea and something i do in my fantasyadventures. Nothing like a quite trip on a boat that becomes a desperate battle with an Archeteutis. And i notice a shark to somewhere. What brand is that toothy critter? Cary on and you will eat spinazie! As we say in good old Holland ;-)

Both creatures were found in a general store kids section - shark £1, Squid £3 - no brand markings...

sorry :?
