Hi all,
This is my first attempt at a large scale pirate creation. I call it Puerto
Bonita. It is a Spanish port city in the Carribbean. I used up just about
every white and yellow brick I own to build it. It would be bigger, except
Frank Filz always outbids me at the last second whenever I try to get more
yellow!
The city has a main plaza, a public market, a statehouse, and a residential
section. I didn't build the fortress out of White and yellow like the
standard fortresses, because I can't see a fortress made of red brick and
plaster holding up under heavy bombardment. Plus, the pirates of the
carribbean fort (and we all know how accurate that ride is) is grey stone as
well. LMKWYT! Jon

| (...) That is very cool! I love the market and the items you've got hanging. The Mariachi band is great. And the fort looks fine in grey, but we need more pics of it. :) I like the paved walkway as well. And here I thought you just did Western. ;) (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| Hey Jon, Very Nice! I like the looks of it! You captured a nice Spanish feel to it. It's a good inspiration for the pirate island I'm working on. Keep up the nice work! Also, some more pics would be nice! Especially of the state house and the fort. (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| That's the best realized spanish colonial town I've seen. I love the creeping vines wrapped around columns, the grey tiled patios and the hanging elements. Where's Zorro? :-) Bruce Oh, I believe brick fortresses stood up better to cannon balls. Gave (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

Some of the buildings have been transplanted to Tan baseplates for use in my upcoming "Zorro" creation. (an eerily (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| This is really great Jon. The whole town is full of character. The only other thing I would like to see is an overhead shot, to get an idea of the layout. Also maybe a little more detail of the individual buildings. Well anyhow, it looks great, (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| Hi Jon!! Your city is awesome, it's packed with details. I love all the little things, the market especially. Very nice. And I second the call for an overhead shot! -Shiri (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| Absolutely brilliant detailing, photography, inventiveness and imagination. I love pictures where there's lots to see, and you find more when you go back. I love the lanterns :-) But there's a bloke in this one who seems to be making a bit of a row (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jun-01, to lugnet.pirates)
