Hey all, welcome back to another map pack! Today I bring you a MEGA pack of sorts, featuring a two floor set of warehouses with some barges for transport and a THREE floored clipper ship....my first ever ship battlemap...which ended up a surprising 90 squares in length.

Today I wanted to share some of the mapmaking process with you. Much of this was inspired by a visit to the London Docklands museum a while back. For months I've been wanting to make a dockland-style map inspired by West India Docks, and others like it around London.

The warehouse map itself was inspired by both photos I took of the models in the museum and also images I found online. For example, the bridges on the first floor and mechanisms used to pull the sacks up were inspired by this photo.

The ship map I made is actually a tea clipper that was proposed called the Foochow that was never made. I initially wanted to make the Cutty Sark, which I've also visited (and totally recommend), but couldn't get plans of it online. I didn't know what anything on the plan meant, but making this ship in a day definitely accelerated my learning! :D
