Ahoy! I am a Huge fan of board games. My favorite being Settlers of Catan. I own many copies of the game but they all have one major flaw; Durability. The tiles and cards are all made out of cardboard which tends to bend or warp over time. I am working on making a copy of the game out of sealed wood this way they are stronger and more resistant to water damage. I've decided that while I'm at it I'm going to tailor the game to my interests and make a Pirates of Catan. The issue I'm having is with the actual game pieces. In Settlers of Catan the players work with 2 types of pieces: Settlements and Cities. I'd like to do something along the lines of Ship and Hideouts or 2 different size ships. Maybe Sloops and Frigates. Although Carving the pieces out of wood would look nice it would be too time consuming. I'd LOVE to have metal pieces but I have no way to cast them. My latest idea is to use a 2 part resin and make Plastic duplicates of other pieces that I like. The ships from Dread pirate will work GREAT and I happen to have that game. That just leaves me with making the 2nd type of piece. I can't seem to find other game pieces or pirate knick knacks that I could make a mold of for game pieces. Any ideas would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! I did find this game online: Pirates Demise I tried to contact the manufacturer about buying some pieces from them but have gotten no response. I would Really Appreciate some help Thank Ye Capn Antonio Malasses
