Excellent work! Definite European overtones. A German pirate? (or just a
German pirate architect ;-) Vicious pirate captain though, wearing a coat
obviously stripped of a dead imperial. Navy is going to be on to him :-)
And I have never seen antennae used with the big arch. I have done it with
4x and 6x and just never thought of going further - great! Now I have a
front window for the tavern near Government House (which is the current
project :-).
To judge by the islander inside, this base is presumably in the Pacific
somewhere. This is definitely worth a paragraph somewhere in the stories at
Port Block, and a link. What's the dread pirate's name?
In a similar vein: having made a bit of a find recently, I'm working on a
pirate base on the same baseplate. Now that I am putting on finishing
touches, I am in need of some help with naming gentlemen. This Pirate
Captain is a very shrewd fellow - Johnny Thunder, pirate bicorn, brown
epaulettes, standard pirate captain vest, but he has all his limbs (no pegs
or hooks), and he has amassed a ship (based on RR, the Aurora), a crew, a
base, a garrison, and (wait for it) a pirate babe! I'm kinda thinkin
Doolittle, recognising his efficiency (does little, yet succeeds), operating
from his secret base in Shangrila. He might also have some extraordinary
gift in communicating with animals
Thoughts anyone?
Richard
Still baldly going...
