    Black Swan - Black Swan custom VOC-pirate ship conversion / first wooden ship build

    ...the OcCre Black Swan. However, my intention is not to build her strictly as the “Black Swan” from the box, and not even to make an exact Black Pearl replica. I would like to use the kit as the base for my own custom pirate ship: something personal, more detailed, more plausible, and inspired...

    Greetings from Rome(Italy)

    ...experience with wooden ship modelling. Still, I thought: why not give it a try? After doing quite a lot of research, I came across the Black Pearl model by ZHL and also the scratch-building plans by Mellpapa. However, for the time being, those projects felt a bit too large and ambitious for...

    BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

    For the next steps, I laid the mast flat on the workbench. The leading edge of the sail was tied to the 10 mast hoops: The lashing was made as much as possible using the knot shown on the insert. However, my line started in the eye of the sail and then went around the hoop. First, I attached...

    Black Perl Build from Scratch

    Hi all, After my failed attempt to design a POF-style ship, I decided to go with something less challenging to gain more experience with hull construction techniques, especially full-frame (full skeleton) methods. So I chose to start with the Mellpapa drawings. I downloaded them and began...

    ZHL model the flying dutchman ship model kits

    I recently purchased this kit but have not started the build yet. There are some very excellent YouTube videos about how to achieve the look shown. I am anxious to get started but I am finishing up the ZHL 1/50 Black Pearl.

    Want to buy 3D printed Jack Sparrow and other figures

    Where can I buy pirates of the Caribbean figures for my Black Pearl model. The scale is 1/41 ZHL Model. A few figures came with the kit but I’m looking Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, and others… Looks like they need to be about 30 to 35mm ( 1.25 inch ) tall. Thanks..

    Mini Hobby 80502 1/350 Scale USS Enterprise CVN-65 Early

    Part 13 The Fantail (Part 2) The interior bulkheads on the aft, starboard and port sides of the fantail were detailed with some strip to represent “I” beams. I also framed the interior side for the duct opening and the test cell openings with slices of tube. There were doorways leading to the...

    Hi, Bill From South Florida

    ...this site and the forums for about 3 years and have used all of the GREAT information here to work on a plastic (Zveda ?) version of the Black Pearl which I gave to my grandson ( A HUGE POC fan) when completed, and have been working on the ZHL All-Scenario Black Pearl for the last 2 years off...

    Hello, mojojojo. Thank you for your message. So you're building the Victory now, huh? The Victory was the ship that inspired the models for the Dontless and the Endeavour. The rigging is a bit different though. The Queen Anne's Revenge looks tricky. But you can do it!! You managed to build the...

    ...It looks absolutely fantastic. Once the sails go up, it'll be perfect. The rigging would benefit from ratlines. Are you planning to add ratlines next?? Now then, the next ship might be the Wicked Wench before she became the Black Pearl?? I'd love to create a diorama like the one in the image. :D

    The pirated Black Pearl

    ...meds. Suddenly, and I mean within 20mins, I was able to focus without the need to get into a trance like hyper focus, which the Black Pearl provided. As such, I was able to move forwards in work and ended up taking on far more challenges.. mainly robotics. And so the Black Pearl, coasted on...
