Title: Andym's Build: Pirate School (update 2/1)
Post by: Andym on 15 November 2012, 11:02:34 AM
My initial idea was to build a boathouse to add to my brothers cracking pirate board, but the problem being that I wouldn't of had any water effects in it. It would have just sat on top of the blue board we're using to represent the water, so I've had to come up with something different.

I'm going to be struggling for time to do this over the next couple of months but I plan to try my best to finish!! That being said I might have to veto the second of my new ideas for taking too much time to make!

Idea one is a pirate training school, complete with boating pond for single man galleons and a 'Walk the Plank' training frame as well. I may decide to combine the two main parts of this so that the 'Walk the Plank' part is at the edge of the boating pond......

Idea two is a pirate fountain. It's supposed to be a gruff pirate in silly pose with water spouting from his mouth. This one would take longer to do because of the sculpting involved in the pirate figure....

Hmmm! I'm not hundred percent decided yet!

Wonderful, which ever one you pick. Very Money Island.

I'll keep thinking about that pirate school thing in the more annoying term 'Learing Center'.

Could you not use a toy pirate for the statue?

It would be finding the right toy for the part Giles. I figure if I made an approx 54mm pirate I get exactly what pose I'm looking for!

I've decided to go with the pirate school option. Thanks for the offers of miniatures to stick on to my statue anyway guys!!

Im going to combine some of the planned bits into one training pool. The captains training area and walk the plank training are going on the one piece. I originally meant to stick a cannon training bit on there as well but I forgot to cut out the portholes!!!! Doh!! I'll try and cut them in later.

This is my updated plan....

....and here's where I've gotten so far...

Great idea! The curriculum should include Octopus Wrestling, Shark Riding, Keelhauling, and Plank Walking.

I think my pond may be a bit small! :( Thats my two boats in place. I wanted to be able to fit one mini inside them so they have to be that size, but they look a bit big in there!!

I'm going to be struggling with the 5th of January deadline, I've got a lot on, but I'm going to try my best to get this done by then!!

I'm nearly finished the sign(just a few minor things to add) and I'm also nearly finished with the build part for the pond.

Spreading yourself a little thin at the moment though, eh?
The perils of being so damn good at making things, I suppose.

No beer cups were harmed in the making of this build, they're actually parts cut off of a CD case. The kind you get with re-writable ones.
