Rum and Goblins!

Hey folks :) Just watched the freshly released Part I of this very amusing battle report for Stronghold 2nd Edition, where Peter and Will at The Esoteric Order of Gamers battle it out at the castle walls.
I have no idea *wink* who crafted those war-machines they're pushing about, but the game sure looks fun! Great stuff!

Edit: Be sure to check out Part II of the siege too ... it's most amusing :)

While you're at it, take a peek at the huge list of truly amazing downloadable Board Game Player Reference Sheets created by The Esoteric Order of Gamers. If you have any of the games they have created them for ... and you likely do ... you WILL want their handiwork included within those boxes! They are fabulous.

I recently also got to make some new pieces among a batch of hand-crafted comestibles.
This time for Jamaica, a colourful pirate-themed race game set in the Caribbean.
The haul of morsels, including new sculpts depicting tasty sliced legs of ham, and corked jugs of rum, are off to a discerning gamer from Boise, in the US of A.

Meaty, beaty, big and bouncy ;)

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!

Surf and Turf.

Smoked fishy goodness.

...followed up with a nice fresh fruity desert.

Feel free to check out some more pics of the Stronghold 2nd Edition sculpts created for tEOoG... and other foody bits can be found on my Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island page.

Happy Gaming!

Return to the Cursed Island!

A new set of my sculpted board game components, for Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island,  has arrived at its destination in the UK, and are now safely in the hands of their owner.

I got make a few variants on some of the pieces I had previously created for myself and others in this lot. New look Weapon, Roof and Palisade markers, as well as a double-sided Morale totem ... one side - with a smile - for when morale is high, and another - with a scowl - for when morale is down.

Individually personalised Cross markers displaying stones engraved with epitaphs included, and Traps for the King Kong scenario ... with bananas for bait!
A Military Might marker for 7 Wonders: Duel was also requested.

A glimpse of the motherload.

A most enjoyable (and pretty lengthy) commission.

One note I would like to make for those who may be interested in placing commissions. Please be aware of tariffs/import taxes you possibly may have to pay to have your parcel released to you by your postal service. Many countries don't charge a fee, but some do, as the UK resident who placed this commission discovered!

I do make note of this within my price-list/ordering info pdfs, and also on the invoices I send out.

I don't like the ecstasy people should be feeling when receiving my pieces to be marred by an unexpected fee. So please, hit up your local postal service if unsure, before placing a order! :)

Determination tokens,

plus a few alternate ones for special situations. 

The "two-faced" Morale marker.

New Palisade, Roof and Weapon markers.

...and their backs.

R.I.P.

A nice, warm, home away from home.

Wasteland markers.

Have a heart, or four.

Food glorious food.

A Fair Dinkum Desert Island

Just had the pleasure of creating a selection of pieces for a gaming cobber from across the ditch.
More pieces for that ripper board game, Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island.

For this project I designed a brand new Morale marker. Instead of the 'Survivor Island' style torch, this time I thought I'd make one in the likeness of one of the Totems found in the game; pretty pleased with the result :)

I also made small tweaks to a few of the other pieces.

Will the stone god bring joy or dispair?

How did the natives move stones so large?

Delicious coconuts.

The freshest of fish.

Smoked fillets.

Hand polished to a smooth sheen :)

More food for the larder.

Hunting went well today!

Fine tanned leather pelts.

The variety of animals on this island is astounding,

Logs for the wood pile.

Shelter from the elements.

Palm leaves are great for keeping out the rain.

...and the green complements my eyes.

Lets hope it holds up in a storm.

Steel and Lace

A couple of weeks back this commission arrived at it's destination in Paris.
I had been watching it's tracking like a hawk ...with all the flooding, strikes, petrol shortages, football rioting and such, that have been going on, I was quite concerned.
I was, to put it lightly, rather relieved to see the parcel finally signed for, upon delivery :)

The commission was for a bundle of pieces to be used with Ignacy Trzewiczek's amazing Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island board game.

The full haul.

Fire discovered!

Ashes at the campsite.

The usual suspects.

A palisade to keep out the wildlife.

A leafy roof to fend off the weather.

Protection from the elements.

Hunting a-plenty was required.

There's no place like home.

Morale was high.

A verdant land.

Tools of the trade.

The huntsman's friend.

Alas poor Yorick...

Food glorious food.

A banquet fit for a castaway.

A good day's hunting.

The variety of animals to be found is amazing!

I hunt to survive,

Wood! ...

Well stacked.

The mother-load.
