Miniature Building Authority String Up Scurvy Sea Dogs
April 10, 2012 by dracs
Arr it be a grand life bein' a pirate. But sometimes the death ain't worth it. Miniature Building Authority provide all pirates with their just final punishment.
This metal cast gibbet is a characterful addition to any harbour village, perfect for Cutlass or Freebooter's Fate.
Who knows, it might even give you a psychological edge over pirates. No one fights their best when the corpse of a colleague is hanging in a cage nearby. Could add an interesting scenario to your game, with your pirates coming to save their captain from the gibbet (or maybe to make sure he's dead, depends on how free he was with the grog).
So guys think you might have a use for this gruesome spectacle of justice?
The only reason to save the captain is because he kept the treasure map on him, the sneaky swine… 😉
I’d prefer to see hollow cages, maybe made with plasticard circles and plastic rod for the bars so you could put a whole skeleton in there, but this will still be a characterful addition to any pirate-themed board.
