Looking very good so far, especially the market stalls

[Dolmot]

This looks interesting. Do you have any particular plans for its eventual use?

[manatic]

Thanks for the comments, it'll be used as both an inspiration piece and as a game board for 28mm pirates (see this thread). I've noticed that if I have a game board at hand and I can see the progress of a project, it tends to inspire me to work on it more.

It's nice that you are still working on new stuff. I started following your blog long ago when you where painting zombies Pirate is another favourite theme of mine. I will keep an eye on it (lost hte other one in a freak parrot accident )

Cheers Cherno (and sorry for the late reply, completely missed this)! Haven't been painting zombies for a while, although some undead pirates are in the works... It's great to hear that people are still reading the blog!

Work continues, here's a stable block from Warbases. Looking to paint this soon, replaced the laser-cut textures with coffee stirrers as wasn't too fond of them.

[noigrim]

nice!

[von Lucky]

This is shaping up nicely. I like the multiple textures you've used.

Thanks noigrim and von Lucky! It's been painted now and I'll post it as soon as I can get some decent photos. Meanwhile, here's a wrecked cart by Ainsty:

some excellent stuff there.

Awesome work!  I really like the basing too - the multiple tone gives it that beachy look.   

[DoctorPete]

I really like the looks of this!  May even inspire me to finish my pirate project.

Thanks for the kind words! It took some work to get the basing right, so happy that it shows! If you're interested, here's all my pirate stuff on my blog: http://dawnofthelead.com/category/pirates/
