Port Royal


I find I am quite often working on multiple projects at once due the fact that some of them are quite large.

Right now I am working on a 6’x4’ table for 28mm Pirate games based around the rules for Legends of the high seas; however it could easily be used for Hordes or War machine.

The table is loosely based on the historical layout for Port Royal in Jamaica with a few changes to make it useable in a wargame; this includes a scale model of Fort Charles. The table is split into 2’x2’ tiles that can be moved about more easily, though I now find with the addition of the permanently attached scenery a couple of them are quite heavy partially the one that includes the fort.

Still some way to go to achieve the finished result I am looking for, there are a lot of small details to be added many of which will not be needed to for a wargame but will look good on the model for display purposes. Most of the Buildings are from (Games of war/pirate supplies) here in the UK, afew of them have been modified.
Fort Charles has been constructed from (Hirst arts) fieldstone bricks mold with the addition of turrets from (Frontline wargaming) and some doors,windows and many other small parts from (Thormarillion).

The final step will be the addition of a resin ocean; I am currently researching the product I want to use.
