The Old Man and the Sea: 80063, 80064, Nolzur's Shark & Juvenile Kraken

[Rigel]

The Fisherman's Rest. You know the place. The smell of stale beer, sea salt, rum, and fish scales.

 

 

"Evenin,' Old Billy! How be ye these days?"

 

"Oh, I be well enough, exceptin' as how me fishin' trip t'other day went. Now listen, lads. 'Twere a fine calm sunny day and I were far from shore, a-castin line for snapper..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Wow!"
"Nay, lad, there's none in town who can catch a minnow and sell a grouper like Old Billy."

"Nay, swear on me old mum's grave it happened! But if ye find that hard to swallow, ye might be ill-prepared for what came after..."

 

 

 

 

 

*urp* "no, now I think on it, twere more like this, aye, that sounds better."

 

 

"...but the long and the short of it, I never DID catch that snapper."

 

 

"Okay, Bill, time for ye to get some cold water in you."

Chronoscope Pulp Ship's Captain and Ship Hand. Had them painted up, and the shark, but didn't have a good story until a friend gave me one of the Juvenile Kraken mini.
Between the shark's integral splash-base, the squid's splash-stand, and the Water Elemental, we got some good scenery!

I had a lot of fun making the Fisherman's Rest backdrop, too. Old Barkeep has heard all of these yarns before.

I don't know how I hid my previous comment. But I said "that was amazing!"

I can't wait to hear more fish stories.

Great paint job and diorama.

Great work!

 

I love the idea of an old timer sitting down for a tankard of ale and starting to tell sea stories, all the while a crowd gathers 'round.

[Iridil]

Great setting and story telling - I love that bar scene!

[zoroaster100]

Love the miniatures, scenery and the story telling.

really enjoyed it, both story and paint, beautiful choice of colors too

[Rigel]

Thanks a heap to all!

 

I've no doubt we'll hear some more rum yarns from the Fisherman's Rest sooner or later...
