Treasure Island - great book by the great uncle of modern wargaming Robert Louis Stevenson. Will there be hand drawn maps? Thanks for sharing, this is a good looking scenario with the trusty Airfix timber building and some other attractive older houses - handmade? The famous Disney 50s Robert Newton mugging away as Long John Silver "Aaargh Jim lad!" Treasure Island film version was partly filmed in the sea and rivers around Falmouth - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Island_(1950_film)
Maps , there’s a thought. Strangely enough I was told that on a boat on a river Fal excursion last year, thanks for reminding me I had forgotten that fascinating fact. You can’t beat an Airfix cottage. The other splendid buildings were made by Kev , from Australia, who comments here and has an interesting blog.
Will visit tomorrow to find out more. Always an enjoyable visit to'The Kingdom.'Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, more pirates very soon.

DeleteA Rum Crew, and no mistake. Tip him the Black Spot, and all that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteHad that on my roses once I think.

DeleteWatch out for the black spot Ooh Arr !
ReplyDeleteNice scene
I shall pop down to the apothecary for that.
DeleteDoes Mrs Miggins have a rum emporium in the village, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteSadly not anymore, the excise men closed it down last year by removing their custom. Sadly it is an ex still , it is no more...
DeleteOh yeah, a scurvy-looking bunch of scallywags.
ReplyDeleteWhat else would one expect?
DeleteI like those thatched cottages!
