Crafting a Pirates of the Caribbean Inspired Pirate Warning Island

In this weeks episode of the Plunder Den I cover the crafting and painting of a Pirates of the Caribbean inspired Pirate warning Island. I use several types of materials to complete this project including a improved method to get my water effects done. I plan on using this terrain for Blood&Plunder but this would also work in many fantasy settings as well. I also mention the Great Pirate paint off happening over on the ‪@bloodpigment5808‬ which runs to May 14th so get your submissions in and win some amazing prizes. Here is a link to there Facebook for details.

So many great things about this build, but the water really stood out, so simple and yet so convincing.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much Brad, that’s my favourite part as well. I feel really confident that I can do several river tiles using this method.

[@lavvgiver]

This is definitely a fun one. I think you did a great job of capturing the original essence from POTC and making it your own.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much, this was a really fun project! It wasn’t what I was going to work on this week but after I opened the terrain crate I was inspired to complete this project. Lol I sometimes all over the Map when creating projects for the channel.

[@ShakosAndSprues]

Really enjoyed the process of it evolving as you experimented while going through the build and the end result is great. Fantastically detailed tutorial too, taking time to explain all the stages.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! I am Really glad you enjoyed it.

[@dynix77]

Really great build. I think this one is right up there with your sea walls for top builds for me.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much really appreciate that. This definitely was really fun to build.

[@AvocationNation]

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it

[@drew5995]

Your terrain is sick! And the DIY step-by-step gives me hope that I can pull it off too.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much for stopping by! I Really appreciate it. If you have any questions about any of these projects don’t hesitate to ask!

[@camstanch5603]

Another good video

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much Cam

[@jeffr7752]

Hey Dexter! Great video as always! As far as the iron maiden, from my years of reenacting "the golden age of piracy", that's actually called a gibbet. I'm told that they would sometimes even tar the bodies so they wouldn't be picked clean as easy and last longer.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Lol sounds like fun!

[@stevenscrivner6038]

Cool build. the cage was a type of Gibbet.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! Are sure it’s not the iron maiden thing lol!

[@DIORAMABOX]

You are an inspiration to me, thank you very much!

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support

[@redmist1122]

Another exceptional build and paint video! Very inspirational to make one of these. Oh, the Iron Maden is called a Gibbet.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! Lol 😂 you mean it’s not iron maiden thing! Lol 😂

[@redmist1122]

@The Plunder Den it's all good, we, the audience knew what you were talking about. Reaper Bones does a similar one w a guy for it...great job again!

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks! Ya it was a free terrains bit of opportunity! Lol it work out great!

[@beardless_dwarf7484]

This is great! I have thought about building something like this ever since I got into B&P; I guess now I really should! I *love* how the water turned out. Please do a River tutorial with this water method!

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! I am definitely going to do a river tutorial.

[@Andrew-se4tg]

Great video man! I just ordered my two player starter set Friday so looking forward to this game! I love all the terrain videos you do keep them coming!👍🍻

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! You will love the two player starter set! I will keep the videos coming.

[@JackSargePainting]

Excellent build sir 🙂👍 Warlord Games has a sprue sale on at the moment, some of their Pike and Shot range could provide useful parts for conversions. Maybe worth a look.

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much really appreciate it. And thanks for the info!

[@TerrainTronics]

Just saw your chat with @Karlmakesstuff! Instant subscription! I'm building a pirate based oneshot for my Hero Kids crew. I'll be adding a load of electronics to the build (that's my thing), so I'm thinking the usual street lamps etc, but I was wondering if you had any ideas of what you would have liked to add in your terrain? One thing that comes to mind is a flag above the building that turns every so often as if the wind is changing direction. Any other ideas?

[@ThePlunderDen]

Different windows inside the buildings randomly have candle lit lighting turning on and off. I like the idea of doing a night raid!

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much for your support! I really appreciate it

[@michaelsbagley]

What you are referring to as an "Iron Maiden" is called a "gibbet"

[@ThePlunderDen]

Thanks so much! I was hoping some would give me the answer lol

[@ajones4574]

Iron maiden.... great heavy metal group, and a torture device... and Maggie Thatcher, Brit Prime Minister. Oh wait... she was torture. Lovely build again. Nice to see realistic proportions alongside figures.

[@ThePlunderDen]

@@ajones4574 lol 😂 awesome

[@tomdulski3729]

where did you get the palm trees from?

[@ThePlunderDen]

The palm trees are from Amazon and Michaels craft store.
