Slowly working on a new multi period game board (Pirates/IHMN/VBCW/Pulp)

Results so far with a few TSS buildings dotted around for a bit of flava'



and a bit more work - blue styrofoam harbour wall added and filler to some of the gaps

Very nice too! There's a LOT of work gone into this so far, and it's paying off. Keep posting!

Excellent work so far!!! I may have missed it, are you planning to cover the white polystyrene with anything? Maybe polyfilla, sand or even embossed plastic sheets?

Thanks All for the positive comments

Awesome work, I love all the brickwork on the sea wall.  The boat is amazing!

The sea wall originally was a small test building which I threw together a couple of years ago - I carefully dismantled it and formed the wall, hence the offset on the left hand side of it. The boat has been in this state for far too long - the rigging needs a bit of attention, the masts have to be enhanced and painted and I also want to add some stowed sails. It's a "Minimi" casting, which is a great casting for a land-lubber like me to work on. I have a few cannon and trade goods which will also be added in due course.

Excellent work so far!!! I may have missed it, are you planning to cover the white polystyrene with anything? Maybe polyfilla, sand or even embossed plastic sheets?

Yeap, the polystyrene is not very dense so it will have a covering of sand and painted up to match most of my other scenery. I'm also planning to run some Wills "Granite Setts" along the harbour front to add a bit more interest to this area. The painted and flocked "headland" was original a standalone hill bought at a meet, which never quite looked right on the table. Therefore, I hacked it about a bit to fit this set-up - it will also be painted in to match the remainder of the board.

Looking forward to doing a bit more work on this at the weekend.

Looking great so far, RMZ!

I am all for multi-purposing terrain to get as much use as possible.
Looking forward to watching this progress.

As for doing the water: Paper Napkins work really well (with the right pattern on it....no Winnie the Pooh!) and are dirt cheap.

To echo the others, it looks great :) ;D

I like the offset angle for the harbour wall, it very much adds to the visuals. Can't wait to see the next stages. :)
