BLACK VIKING Posted May 14, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2020 Hi all this is my build of the ghost ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean the Flying Dutchman a bit of a fantasy build but looking forward to going a bit freestyle. I have just started cutting out the bulkheads with my new coping saw so will post some pics tomorrow. More to come Martyn ccoyle, mtaylor, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK VIKING Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 15, 2020 Hi all . I have cut out a few more bulkheads and the false keel . I must admit they take a lot longer than I thought but I'm not going anywhere so they will take as long as they take. As you can see from the pictures I have cut them way side the line so I can sand them down to the right level. Hopefully it's going to be a nice day tomorrow so I can cut some more.

amazone Posted May 21, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 21, 2020 wot plans did you use for te hul ? mtaylor and BLACK VIKING 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK VIKING Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted May 21, 2020 Hi amazone the plans are from the Corel Vasa which I built several years ago but I have changed a pop decks to look like the Flying Dutchman. I looked at the ship from the film and thought that looks like the Vasa so it was the perfect candidate.

BLACK VIKING Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted June 13, 2020 Hi all . I have been a bit busy on the FD . The planking has been finished and sanded down. I was going to second plank the hull but I like the look of it as she is meant to look all beaten up. Next job planking the decks and capping the bulwarks. All the wood has been left over from all the other builds I have done so this has cost me next to nothing so far and quite pleased with the outcome. I'm not very good at carving so I plan to use modelling clay for the carvings so just wondering what the best one to use .

BLACK VIKING Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted February 20, 2021 Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but life and stuff has got in the way. I have been slowly working away on the FD . I have finished the hull and have now put some details on the stern galleries and the sides. As I'm no good at carving I have used modelling clay to make the scary faces and strange fishy things and to make her look old and battered I have put some barnacles and clamy things on the sides. I need to find away of putting some smaller barnacles on the lower hull. Thanks for looking.

BLACK VIKING Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted June 20, 2021 Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but life has certainly got in the way. But anyway back to the build. The guns have been fitted on the gundeck and the sides. I have made some lanterns and some weird sticky up things on the stern and fitted some wooden teeth things on the beakhead. Next job making the main mast . Stay safe all. Martyn md1400cs, GrandpaPhil, Knocklouder and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLACK VIKING Posted April 13 Author Share #17 Posted April 13 Hi all sorry for the long delay but life has got in the way. I've been working on the yards and sails. These have been made from a old shirt that has been cut and distressed by rubbing them with rough sandpaper and then painted with different greens and browns. Next job more sails Thanks for looking Martyn Baker, tartane, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
