I love it when people toot there own horn. When you do stuff like this you are entitled to Atto!

Can't wait to see your next works but for now I will come back to these pictures again and again :-)

Do you have a crew for her?

custom cursed pirates including cursed and uncursed versions of jack sparrow

Some unfortunate news:

I had the Pearl on the table and its bowsprit caught on my jacket as I walked by.... the entire ship was dragged by my jacket and crashed to the floor!

Suprisingly, it is 99% intact, but the top yard of the square sail on the mizzen mast SNAPPED IN HALF!

So, I now have to replace the broken yard , which also means re-lashing the sail to the new yard, and pretty much RE-RIGGING most of the entire mizzen mast/sails.  grrrr

the good news is until now i've been using wooden dowels for my masts and yards, and so far I've suffered a few breaks in the wood on different ships (when handled roughly)...BUT....I recently discovered CARBON FIBER RODS of the same diameter, and they're already molded in black.

So I plan to replace this broken yard with a carbon fiber replacement.  Carbon fiber is strong, but flexible, and won't break as easily.  I plan to use carbon fiber for all my future mast/yard applications on future ships.  Only problem is, while the wooden dowels are less than 25 cents a piece, the carbon fiber counterpart is $7 dollars!  So I'll have to wait on repairing the mizzen until more funds come my way.

Accidents do happen, they are in a little corner is what a dutch saying states. Fortunately, it's mostly intact.

Btw did not see this thread before, and I was now fan of the ghost pirates, but now I've seen yours!!  :love: :love:

In this case it can't be classified as battledamage into the ship's log... ;)
Luckily she sustained no major damage to the hull or deck!!  :)

Sad to hear Atto, but I'm sure she will be even better than before after her repairs

Wow!  The Black Pearl turned out great! :clap: :clap: :clap:
Your functional and realistic rigging take first prize for sure.
And it doesn't sink..!

I think promotion to Playmo Admiral of the Fleet is in order! ;D

Great job Atto!

Happy sailing,
Jimbo
