Your thread offers a plethora of information and advice which is greatly appreciated. I just ordered the Zvezda Pearl kit and cannot wait to dive into this build. My aspirations are to add a few flickering LED's to the lower decks, Capt's quarters, & the three aft lanterns. May I ask what is the thickness of the planking you used on your deck? Also, it appears Gator Glue isn't readily available in the States and I wonder if Gorilla Glue is a compatible substitute? I think it would be but checking with the expert(s) on this one. Again, well done sir ! Thank you so much for those very kind words, I replied to you request by PM (sorry I have only just seen this post). Looking forward to following you build - you must send me the link to it - lighting it up will look fabulous - I bottled out doing that, it creates so many scenes from the films you could create - only immagination is the limitation.

Nearly forgot - dont foreget, like i did put wood dowel reinforcements inside the masts (they have a cavity inside them) and if you can try to make the yard arms from dowel as it will make them stronger for when you rig the ship.

Old Collingwood Posted January 7, 2023 Author #1243 Posted January 7, 2023 Evening all, I had a look at my Pearl earlier while dusting my unit - and I thought of an idea as she has collected a bit of dust, so it got me thinking of an idea - I might clean the decks a bit but leave the dust on the riging and do a flat top coat spray to flaten the sheen even more and to lock in the dust on the riging, I might even do a wee bit more of a wash as I have gotten more into that with my Waterloo dio build - they say we are forever Improving.

Twokidsnosleep Posted June 4, 2023 #1248 Posted June 4, 2023 Surprisingly, there are not better figures at this scale I am assuming copyright infringement law is a big issue in stopping production of film based figures But your figures modified well….I agree they would be easier if just cast/printed in resin or styrene and not that ABS snot they used Old Collingwood 1 Quote Scott Current Build: 1/72 Zvezda The Black Pearl

The modifications really make them work well. I am in the process of painting just 5 figures right now that were included in my Spanish Galleon kit, and modifying them to work out well in the cabins and helm has been a painstaking process. And that is just modifying them before painting, which is another thing altogether at such a small scale. I won't give up, but it is going slowly. I have the deepest respect for both of your work when I see the results of your figures.

Old Collingwood Posted February 18 Author #1259 Posted February 18 Hi there all, I decided to have another mess about with my photo files - so in my Lightroom I cropped a few then lifted the light levels added some contrast - Black levels - Colour and reduced the High lights then I sent them into my Topaz de noise before saving back into Lightroom where they had some selective sharpening and saved back into my files.
