The Pirate Retirement Home
« on: March 15, 2015, 05:10:49 »
The structure of this building was inspired by a large farmhouse that I saw advertised for sale, and very much liked.  I had the intention of creating a farmhouse too, but then it got taken over by pirates, and turned into a Pirate Retirement Home.







The accommodation needs of retired pirates are quite basic.  Even Vainbeard, the owner of the Retirement Home, has a simple room.



Somewhere to sleep, and somewhere to store their treasures is all that is required.  This is William.  In the past, he wanted to be known as Redbeard, but there was already a Redbeard aboard the ship, and therefore he was told that he would be Redbeard the Second.  He didn't want to be Second, however, so he said he would just be William.



Rupert is a practical pirate, a hard worker.



And The Admiral likes to tell long stories about his adventurous life.



Long-time friends Bald Henry and John the Dare share a room.



The Captain shares only with his parrot.



There is also a Cook at the Home, but he doesn't live there.



Life at the Retirement Home is quite serene.

Haha, brilliant  :)  I like the design of the building and the sign over the door.
That guy dusting a canon, nice touch!

It looks like a very nice place to live with plenty of room, some pirates did go for an early retirement, only the owner has grey hair.  :)

 :)  The guy dusting the cannon was Mr Raven's doing.  I had placed another table and benches there, but he took them away and replaced them with Rupert the Pirate being industrious.

It was lots of fun to make it. The captain retired after he sold his ship to the fairies;

Lovely building with very interesting residents. I really would like to take a look in the activity room. Do they hold organised drinking games?

Great system x building. The red roof works

I just think the bushes with flowers on the wall is weird. How would plants grow there with out soil?
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Very nice building!  Really like the rigging which makes ascending to the upper floors great exerrrrrrrrrrcise!
