Sigh... why did you have to say that? Now it probably won't show up until they release the Seahorse 8.1 Centaur Pirate bundle... ;/
That's exactly what's intriguing me here too, even from the few promos you can imagine all sorts of possible uses in historical and even contemporary settings. I also love how the houses themselves each look quite distinct and versatile. Oh, really can't wait for this set!
That is some funny stuff right there!!
Ahem. Toon Seahorse 8.1 Centaur Pirate bundle ...
Yes, sure. Here's the one shot that inspired me, then I gathered a bunch of others too. I think your not far off on the building methods of those times. This shot might be what you are thinking of, built on the Thames, still there now and a bar called The Grapes. I just thought the 1800's photo was so cool and looked like pirate to me! And yes other historical, steampunk, etc. I really liked the non-standard contruction methods, build with what ever materials you have on hand.
I am so pumped for this set. I check the site every day....and every day all I see is....meehhhhhh......LOL
This looks amazing. What ship did you use in your new teaser render?
Cool, thanks for the reference pic! You know, your set really wouldn't look any different at all from this if rendered in old BW fashion. Seriously amazing job! Now, DAZ, PLEASE, get it out already ...!
Exactly how I feel. Well said.
I had a few drinks in the Grapes a number of years back when I lived in Limehouse. The river front looks completely different now, all very modern. I think the pub was still an old building.
Isn't that the pub that is (or at least was) owned by Sir Ian McKellen (aka Gandalf)?
Looks like a great set, I'm looking forward to it hitting the store.
Yes, I believe I did read that, owned by Ian McKellen! Funny. This other photo is, I think near the same area?(same google search anyway) Looks like everthing is moderenized to a point. They must have loved the nostalgic hangmans pole so much, they couldn't part with it.
That is wapping dock, about a 10 minute walk or so along the river. The pub you see is the Captain Kidd (which I have drank in more often the The Grapes), the infamous pirate that was hung over the Thames, and that is the reason the gallows are there. I suspect it was added when the pub was built. I would be surprised if it had already been there.
A lot of the riverside buildings along that stretch are still the original warehouses, although the interior was completely redone when they were converted into flats. Not a cheap place to live these days, you would not get much change from a million pounds for just a 1 bed flat. In Limehouse along the riverside are mostly completely new buildings, most of the originals were ripped down when the area was changed from an abandoned dockland into housing for city workers.
I thought the same - I used to live in Rotherhithe and would often walk the route from there to the South Bank along the river - the familiarity of this alone makes me want to get it. Super work, very excited to see it released soon.
Ha -- that's the exact area that the pirate houses reminded me of. This is my picture of Wapping Wall and of the gibbet. My recollection is that the gibbet is actually outside the "Prospect of Whitby" rather than the "Captain Kidd", although the latter would make more sense (and would be closer to the site of the original Execution Dock). Maybe there are two? In any case, I don't believe that the gibbet is an original.
You maybe right. When I saw the gibbet I assumed it was the Captain Kidd, but I can not be certain from that angle. The Prospect of Whitby is very close, maybe half a kilometer further upstream. I have walked past it countless times, but I don't think we ever went and drank there, not sure why.

Back on the subject of this upcoming product, is there anyway of pushing up the water level significantly, like 10-15 metres or so? That way boats could be tied up to the pier, rather than waiting off shore and reaching the houses via small boats.
Havos, I didn't test it but you can move the water to any level you like. The dock surface is at Y 0.0 so figures can walk on it easy. Water, beach , rocks, seawall, dock are all seperate as are all the buildings.
Tides go out and come in
its that damned moon
Daz needs to step up the release date on this one. I'm tired of logging in every day and seeing c**p on the sales page.
That's what I'm talkin' about! Good on ya for making each element a individual component.
AllenArt, the product is back to me for some PA corrections (my bad, there are always a few) I'll get it back to Daz after the holiday. Sorry for the delay. Hopefully soon.
Oh no, poor us ...!
**sad face**
Oh well....s**t happens. LOL
It's out, it's in the store, and in my download folder.
Straight in mycart and bought...don't remember anything going in so fast. I feel like Christmas has come early.
Yay, there it is, I'm so excited! It's sitting in my cart right now, will buy today or tomorrow. So cool, I thought it was gonna come wayyyy after the holidays!
Snatched!
