Arab Desert Beach Port part I

 

        Pirate action was never limited to the Caribbean. The North African pirates were a never ending problem for Christian Europe. The pirates had multiple little out post throughout Africa. The Slaver ports, and native African ports.

        The man in the Iron Mask has a chapter or two in Africa. El Capitan is in Africa also. 

        I got this whole double section for 50 bucks. It is not 28mm scale. More like 32mm. It will work. I started by cleaning it and spraying the whole thing Desert yellow. The separate wooden parts were sprayed brown. Both rattle cans are from Lowes.

        The wooden docks were dry brushed "Real Wood" followed by "Iraq Sand." I pulled all the docks done in the past and matched them up. A few have an Otter Brown prime base. They are darker.

        The large water front 3 sections are done. After visiting the sun coast of Spain. I now know the Arab structures were earth in color with no painted designs. Red brick/earth as in Magala.

        The cloth was just sprayed. Maybe I will go back and paint a pattern. For now I don't care so much. 

    

            The last two pieces need a few hours worth detail pick out and washes.
