Been slow hobby-wise for the past couple of weeks, as I was preparing everything for the organization of a FoW tournament (GTS 2008), with Meninobesta. It all went well and I managed to get my hands on Legends of the High Seas.
The result was that I went down bad (worse than before) with Pirate fever and decided to tackle a major (at least for me) modeling project - A Pirate Ship!
As I´m much more a Monkey Island man than a Master & Commander one, I went for a cartoony look for my ship and christened him "El Pollo Diablo" - a fitting name :)
Images of Guybrush still stir up some funny bone inside me, fruit of lots of time spent on Scabb Island searching for Big Whoop.
The Man himself, Guybrush Threepwood:
Work is underway and I expect the launching ceremony to happen very soon, meanwhile I leave you with some Work in Progress pictures.
El Pollo Diablo complete with masts and Pirate props:
The arms race is on as Meninobesta is also busy with a rival (still nameless) vessel:
Next Thursday I expect to have El Pollo Diablo minimally presentable to make an appearance at my very first LotHS game, versus Meninobesta.
I´ve read the rules and I´m sure it will be a blast :)
