tararasik Posted July 21, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2022 Greetings captains! Christmas came early this year. I recently got an unexpected and great gift from my coworker - box of the Black Pearl. I'm into modelism in general, but mostly made airplanes and recently got excited by painting miniatures. Couple of years ago I started two ships, but abandoned them because I wanted to make them "perfect" but couldn't. This one should be special, as want to build it as I want. So basically I want just to build "as it is", but have couple of ideas what I'll probably improve. I will be glad of your comments and advises. ccoyle and Knocklouder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share #2 Posted July 22, 2022 I cut all the deck parts and tried to fit and glued hull. Then started to build guns...a lot of guns. Almost quater of all the parts of the kit are guns parts ) They are pretty bad quality - molding parts shifted a bit, so there are a lot of sanding and cleaning. And started to prime. Also want to cut windows to the captains cabin something like this. So wish me luck )) Archi, ccoyle and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted July 24, 2022 Not great not terrible. It was fun and I like the result. Also want to add these ladies, what do you think? DocRob, Knocklouder, lmagna and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share #4 Posted July 29, 2022 Spent a lot of time experimenting with deck color Currently I like this variant, probably will add more wear and tear on real deck. ccoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) Guns for lower deck. DIdn't want to spend a lot of time on them as they are almost hidden. So I'd better spend more time on upper guns. Edited July 29, 2022 by tararasik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tararasik Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share #14 Posted August 7, 2022 Thanks Jeff. I'm not sure about right terms so please correct me if I'm mistaken. Meanwhile a made a lot of boring job - cleaned all the sides, primed and painted hull and sides. From the interesting parts - added some bits on the quarterdeck: grates, improved a bit steering wheel with a rope, construction for the bell, also trying to make a bell, but probably will just buy it. Also added imitation of shellfish and stuff on the bottom of the hull. Jeff T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted August 8, 2022 Today I made an anchor ropes, and also had to insert all the ropes that holds gun ports before I'll glue the sldes. Jeff T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share #16 Posted August 9, 2022 Today was probably the hardest day. I set the sides, it didn't go smooth so still have a lot to putty. But result is just amazing. Jeff T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tararasik Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share #17 Posted August 10, 2022 Today I made a binnacle, it wasn't in the kit, but I heard that it's the main furniture on the ship. It looks a bit big, but I like it ) ccoyle and Jeff T 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially this ship which almost has no rules ) I've seen couple of dozen of this model and everyone was unique. I also consider adding some furniture to the captain's cabin.

Snug Harbor Johnny Posted August 12, 2022 Share #25 Posted August 12, 2022 'Absolutely LOVE all the details you're including, mate. If I ever do a movie ship, it might be the pirate ship from Hook, with Dustin Hoffman playing the title role ... he was perfect. Then I'd have to equip his cabin with all those red-heeled shoes in one cabinet, a miniature ship floating in a large bowl, etc. (and a miniature of Hook and Smee) and make the skull-like stern decoration hinged so one can open it to see the interior. Hook (holding pistol to his head), "This time I'm going to do it. Stop me, Smee. I'm really going to do it! Smee .... SMEE! Stop me, Smee." 😉 Old Collingwood, Dave_E, Peanut6 and 1 other 2 2 Quote Completed builds: Khufu Solar Barge - 1:72 Woody Joe Current project(s): Gorch Fock restoration 1:100, Billing Wasa (bust) - 1:100 Billings, Great Harry (bust) 1:88 ex.

I actually think about adding some tentacles to the stand, but I'm afraid it would be too big.
