The Pirate Hall Released!

Added 2023-06-11 19:20:27 +0000 UTC

Hi everybody,

the Pirate Hall is finished!

This release is composed of three main parts:

- The Pirate Hall & Village. With these tiles you can build a huge variety of small buildings salvaged from ships and a complete ship hall. Bot the ship and the "pirate houses" (basically very short ships) are modular in length and have several options for roofs, decorations, etc... The masts are optionals, but I think they add a bit of that salvaged and "shaky" look. The small castle on top of the roof at the back can be placed on top of the main deck to add more variety to the structure of the ship main deck (from November 2022). For the broadside tiles you can choose between the usual warship cannon hatches and windows. You can also glue the awnings wherever you want to add more character to the buildings.

- Objects and props. The throne of the pirate king, tables and benches furnished with pirate objects and props. There is also a large rowboat with rows and all the props as single STLs. Finally, as you asked for it, a plank for the ship! This one was made for a pirate that often executes people - hence the small stair - but you can easily clip it away if you want a simpler look. It hould just slot in the battlements of the upper deck.

- Guard Tower / Plank Execution Tower. This is a bit of a weirder one. The tower itself can be built as a watch tower or as a way to elevate a plank used for the pirate village executions. I imagine the enclosed ring to protect bystanders from the piranhas or crocodiles inside the pool. If assembled with glue, the ring can be a good base for experimenting with liquid resin to make some water effects too. It can also be used as some sort of defense/protection system for the village or as a ring for brawling matches between pirates (and, clearly, PCs). The tower also has a rope ladder variant (that can be cut at will to fit your needs), a bell and a counterweigth anchor.

That's it for now. I really like how these structures turned out. I can't wait to play a oneshot on a hidden pirate island with all those cute pirate houses :)

All the models are uploaded on drive & MMF, for which I just sent out new invites. Let me know if for some reason no message arrived or if there is any trouble with redeeming them.

I will be back asap with the Welcome Pack Cart expansion and the figurehead to the ship.

Thanks for the support and the patience. I wish you a happy hobby time! :D
