tradewinds got a reaction from Elijah in Pirate Ship by tradewinds - Revell - PLASTIC - 1:72 - 05605
Here is a photo of the 180.
Here is a photo of the Mermaid tank I made for a 65 gallon tank. I was going for a distressed Caribbean look.

I am new to the hobby. These types of kits intrigue me and would therefore like to request permission to come aboard Captain.

tradewinds got a reaction from Canute in Enamle vs Acrylic
I had the same question and am happy to have found this thread before creating a duplicate.
From what I've read here, there appears to be similarities between the two types of paint, but most shipmates feel acrylic is a bit easier to work with as the modeler won't need to use solvents to thin the paint or clean brushes. It was also noted that different brands of acrylics tend to mix better than different brands of enamels. Is this a fair recap of the conversation?
Can enamel and acrylic be used on the same model without ill effects?

I was relieved to see that the pirate doing the "Capt. Morgan" didn't come with the rock..........hard one to explain on a deck I've seen that kit...the admiral loves pirate ships too.......I still have the Jolly Rogers to build. so you haven't opened the box.......let me guess....it's molded in black plastic
take a poll........molded in black, white, or brown {yes, tan is included in this}
looking forward in seeing the start of your build

Best wishes for getting started. Just be careful opening that box with your hook!

Hi.
You will enjoy this kit i had it a while ago.
Except for the figure head it's the same kit as the Zvezda's Black Pearl kit. You got the better one as it's a
lot cheaper than the Black Pearl version but exactly the same quality.

For my first build, I thought I would start with a plastic kit and see how it goes from here. After a couple trips to my local hobby shop I purchased an 896-piece model called Pirate Ship. 896 parts may seem a bit ambitious, but I wanted a fair amount of detail.
Perhaps a bit of back-story is in order. My basement's decor is loosely based on the period of Age of Sails. It started with my wife's and I love of the sea, but being landlocked, we thought we'd bring a small window of the sea into the home. A 180-gallon salt-water aquarium was set-up in the basement and we were well on our way. From there it seemed only natural to go with a nautical theme.
I also enjoy woodworking and built an aquarium tank stand with two mermaids holding up a portion of the stand. From there an interest in historical accounts of pirates evolved, which lead to the purchase of the Revell Kit.
Here is a photo of the boxed kit, as I am still working up the nerve to opening it.
What's a ship without a crew?

Dan, your work is mesmerizing and each scene tells so many different stories if one takes the time to listen. I can only image the thoughts that go through your mind as you create these masterpieces.
This forum has turned into quite the rabbit hole for me.

Is there an Internet resource available for his sketchbooks? My search resulted in just a few small images.

*cough* erm… that would be me.
I thought you might get a few ideas from them.. There are a few more on my website, www.thehistoryman.com and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask, that's what this place is all about.
Dan.
