First Pirate Ship

[durangod]

OK she is done for now, no rigging ropes other than anchors. Not all sails used as some are on rigging. I was going to have the captain walking the plank but i forgot lol
Used superglue for sails rather than the thread.

One poor guy had the railing fall on his head, one guy is hanging on side of ship with one bad leg bleeding out.

Ready for the next build, im glad i did this, i been wanting to for at least 15 years.

I made the attempt to put extra glue on deck to seem like water puddles but im sure there is a better way

As far as i can find, pirates wore red because the dye used to make that color was expensive, so you had to be well off to own or use red anything. So when they painted items in their ships red or wore red scarfs it was seen as a sign of prosperity.

Now days its not scarfs, its $1500 cell phones they wave around to say "im important". I think they are stupid for paying that much for a stinkin cell phone.

Red so they would not be scared of all the blood all around the decks etc.

Nice! Looks like a lot of fun. Would have missed it except for Jolly Richard's post.
