That's a nice little diorama. The water texture is quite realistic. Nice use of layering, too.

Thanks for sharing.

Dang. They pirate lots of Mauther's stuff. And other people's, too.

You know you can just go to the original source for his models, PAPERMAU. The Pirate Cove is at PAPERMAU: Search results for pirate cove

I really like what you did with the model, though. Taking the extra time and steps on a model, really makes them stand out. Thanks for sharing

This is not pirating. They tell, where you get it from. Why dont you check the link before you talk like that? This is not good. You get redirected to papermau´s site. They always mention the source.

Sorry about that, but when I clicked on it, it took me to a Pinterest download window.

When it took me to that window, I didn't click on anything else, so maybe clicking from there takes you to the actual site.

Does being logged in make a difference on that?

And most Pinterest posters do not tell where they get the things they post. At least that has been my experience.

Again, sorry about that.

You used the term 'always', but if you check out the page, look at how many of Mauther's models have the source listed as a known pirate site.

So, my point of Pinterest generally being a pirate haven stands, but this discussion takes away from Bob's build.

I'd actually like to see more photos
