I think I have finally figured out how to show my pictures on here, so without further ado here is the part of our collection which is out in the open. Keep in mind I am living my Playmo dreams vicariously through a 3 year old and we only got our first set (4444) in July, so there is only so much I can put on the floor without feeling like I am spoiling him.
The fleet:
So far, I'm pretty happy with this. I gave D the 3286 for Xmas and that is a great set. We have another complete one still in the box which will be assigned to the pirate foes in the next few months. I am looking at increasing the number of ships this year and will probably add 4290 (the boy is in love with that one) and Blackbeards ship. 5801 is readily available here and at 45$ will probably be added to the fleet too.
The pirates who don't have a home yet:
The opponents:
So far the majority of the opponenets are Bluecoats (mostly 4611 specials rearmed with musketoons) but I have 5 Spanish
and will also use some of the pirates in the bluecoats to crew the second of our 3286's (after some slight mods of course). I will look to add the lighthouse and another of the rowboats to get the Spanish up to 10. Once the Conquistador special arrives here I'll look to see how he looks with them and may add 10 or so of those. We also use the 4444 cannon boat with the Bluecoats as to me it doesn't make sense as a pirate vessel and seems more like suited to shore defense/patrol.
And finally the islands/fortification sets:
I aslo just received a brand new pirate lagoon (3285) and a complete Naval Stronghold (3288) that I got off ebay. Can't wait to get those open.
That is it, not as impressive as most of what I've seen here but not bad for 6 months work.
