When i was in Adelaide I acquired two large $12 plastic square zip bags full of 'pirate' objects and a few undersized pirates and skeletons. Unlike the usual bags these were accessories bags.
The first photo shows small boats and rafts or wall sections. I removed the sails as they have no use in 54mm scale but, as Bob Bolton pointed out they could be used to make pontoon bridges.
There were various cannons, some looking quite realistic. Some actually shoot barrels on sticks a respectable distance.
I picked up, at a market, an old cart made of wood which will carry some of the barrels. The large barrels could have a hook added to represent a tap so, on a wagon, it can be the water supply.
Some rather large bird carcasses look like roast snookum ookum birds.
Some undersized towers make good shelf backdrops.
Somewhere to put my Bogavanian captives.
Towers, or ticket booths to the pirate show.
My favourites are pigs on spits. They are hollow but I filled them with putty.
These are interesting horses made from hard plastic halves. I have filled the hollow legs and screw holes with putty. They are rather large but i like the chests carried on their rumps.
Also my favourites are these rocks with human bones - nice.
Also nice - wall sections with skulls, spiders, scorpions and snakes. They are sculpted on the outside but featureless inside and obviously two thin so I am going to add putty to the inside.
Putty additions and undercoating
Undercoated treasure horse and roast bird with knight for scale. It is obvious that that is no chicken but maybe chickenasaurus. For those who pay attention to these things it is obviously a snookum ookum bird which has fallen on to sad times.Yet, it should feel honoured - if deceased roasted birds can feel anything- to be serving the royal family of Bogavania. This rare humungous bird is reserved for the king's royal banquets.
Here are the walls and skull rocks painted.
