Onni Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Some progress with masts and rigging.Not an easy ship to model. Noticed already that I made the poop deck a bit too narrow but its too late to alter now.Progress is slow.Hoped that I would complete it by Christmas but that seems unrealistic at the moment.

DSiemens Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Oni, Incredible work. I don't think the poop deck is too narrow at all. It looks well proportioned to me. Some ships in that era had very narrow poop decks. I'm guessing this is 1600's to early 1700's. IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates of the Caribbean,Black Pearl circa 2003 but I guess it was modelled on an 18th century ship.😂 Chasseur, James w rogers and DSiemens 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Now I see it. Didn't look closely enough at the figure head. Yeah it would have been based on early 1700 ships. There's a quick way to tell the era of bigger ships particularly war ships. Look at the bowsprit. If it has a bob stay and sprit sail it's early 1700's or earlier. If it has a martingale it's 1730's or later. I tell all my pirate reenacting GAOP history buffs, if it has a martingale it wasn't a pirate ship.

Onni Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 On my workbench;actually the kitchen table ,The Black Pearl..... in a bottle! Mananged to reach my deadline to bottle her before Christmas.Difficult to get a decent photo of her. Looks better 'in the flesh' so to speak.The stand is just a temporary one that I had laying around. Will build a new stand for her to sit on after the holidays.
