Port Royal Warehouse by Reviresco

Port Royal Warehouse

1/64th 28mm scale cut, fold, & glue paper kit.

Port Royal Jamaica, in the mid-1600s, was a British colony with a good harbor and convenient to the trade routes between Spain and her colonies in the New World.  Since England and Spain were at war during most of the 1600’s it naturally became a very successful privateering port and when the war was over many of the privateers became pirates.   It naturally followed that the town developed a reputation as the wickedest city in the New World.    It has been said that there was one tavern for every 10 inhabitants and prostitutes displayed their wares openly on the streets.   

And so it was until June 7, 1692 when a massive earthquake and tidal wave sunk two thirds of the city into the sea.  

Reviresco’s downloadable “Port Royal Warehouse Kit” offers you the choice of four building exteriors, brick, stone, plaster or old cracked plaster and three choices of roof materials,  tiles,  shingles, or slates.   A full color ground sheet displays a cobblestone road and stone walkway out front and a wood wharf in the rear of the building.    Three signs, two candle lanterns, various boxes and a longboat are supplied to decorate the exterior of your building.   Size of finished kit exclusive of the ground sheet is 6.5 x 5.5 x 6.75 inches.
