Anyhoo, I went round the edge of the cliffs and beaches with some Woodland scenics Realistic Water, to add a 'wet look'. Once dry I then mixed some white paint and Water Effects together and went round again adding in wavelets on the beaches, and water splashes against the rocks.
I also painted the top of one of my games tables sea turquoisey blue (It's a Dulux paint, local shade known as 'Otaki Forks')
So there you go, basic Isle, suitable for many settings and scenarios... but you know I couldn't resist dressing it up a bit, so dug out my jungle vegetation and some rocks and let my pirates have a brief explore!
"Arr, there be treasure here mate!"
"So, where's that darned 'X' ?" !!!
Hope to see it in action, sometime soon! Though I will need to finish off my little jollyboat, so my pirates can at least get from ship to shore! ;-)
Excellent job !
ReplyDeleteMany thanks :-)

DeleteGreat job, something I was thinking along the same lines!
ReplyDeleteThnaks Styx, hope it might give you a little inspiration, motivation?
DeleteExcellent. It looks just like the one I couldn't be bothered to make yet.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I look forward to seeing yours, once you're bothered ;-) Judging by your other terrain, it will be superb!
DeleteI like a lot your Island !
ReplyDelete(well... I'm jealous in fact ...)

ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! Pirates yes, and cannibals too, eek!
DeleteLooking good Scott, you'll have a lot of fun playing on that.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan , I certainly hope so!
DeleteWell that worked out a treat didn't it now?
ReplyDeleteLOL, cheers Millsy :-)
DeleteGreat work Scott. The island is much bigger than I had imagined and works really well. I'm imagining a LOTR beach landing and siege now!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I made a Corsairs themed ship many moons ago, but never got round to painting up the crew... now I have a reason, and of course some Gondorians to defend it... I've got about 30 half painted on the painting table at the mo', just trying to find time to finish them off...
DeleteTop job Scott. Should be many a game of plundering or anything really.
ReplyDeletecheers
Thanks Brendan, I sincerely hope so!
DeleteNow that, really looks the biz Scott!!
