Man that is lookin' cool. While I abandoned my own Pirate project a while back...I'm hoping to convince my buddies to consider Pirate skirmishes so I can simply build up a small crew and a scratch-built ship. Love the result you got.
-
I've been following your posts with great interest! These make me pine for my sailing days. They are also some excellent scratch-builds that blur the lines of ship model/gaming piece. You have inspired me to take up and finish my converted and scratch-built nautical gaming projects.
Do allow me to ask - how did you shape the hull? Is that carved with a knife, or did you use something else?
Bravo, sir!

Superb work ! Bravo :-*
