    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...

    The ship looks like the La Couronne.

    ...more. That’s why I call “like La Couronne”. But the ship is stunningly beautiful, and this model together with the Royal Carolina and Black Pearl has greatly beautified my home. It was a risk, but I'm not too disappointed with the result. Many thanks DARIVS ARCHITECTVS and majq from model...

    Black Pearl - my first build

    Good luck with the practice on the Black Pearl. Thumbsup After that, maybe the HMS Victory. You will have followers.

    Black Pearl - my first build

    ...that I was in waaaay over my head and shelved it. I was recently inspired to try again, so this time I bought a cheap Chinese kit of the Black Pearl. My thinking is that it's a fictional pirate ship and therefore has no need to be pretty, pristine, authentic or perfect and therefore the...

    "Cheap" Amazon Black Pearl 1/50 Kit (***Don't Buy!***)

    HAHA we will get through this tough time together! Through the help of others on SOS, Boiler Dan on YouTube, and the use of the plotter at my work, I was able to print the directions from ZHL, scale drawings for the masts, yards, and booms as well as 1:1 printed sheet for the sails. I'm far...

    "Cheap" Amazon Black Pearl 1/50 Kit (***Don't Buy!***)

    ...head. My thought was that if I bought a cheapish model then I could use it to practice on before continuing with the HMS Victory. And the Black Pearl is a pirate ship, it's not meant to be pristine or pretty, and if I really mess up the hull planking then I'll turn it into a canon ball hole...

    Hi from Australia

    ...realised that I have not clocked in and said hello, so....Hello!! I have two builds in progress at the moment. First is a cheap Chinese "Black Pearl" that came with very poor castings of the Wicked Wenches and a figure head that was way out of proportion. I've done a bit of modification...

    "Cheap" Amazon Black Pearl 1/50 Kit (***Don't Buy!***)

    I built the ZHL Black Pearl. I have been spoiled! It was by FAR the best quality ship I have ever built and I've been doing it for over 40 years. No other brand comes close when it comes to design, quality of materials and understandable instruction. The ZHL Black Pearl was going to be my final...

    "Cheap" Amazon Black Pearl 1/50 Kit (***Don't Buy!***)

    Thanks Bob, i didnt think of it like that! I'm so used to having all the parts at my fingertips, I didnt think about the uniqueness/challenge of building my own parts to make something work. I will check out the links, thanks again!

    "Cheap" Amazon Black Pearl 1/50 Kit (***Don't Buy!***)

    ...the shortcomings of the kit you purchased, as an experienced plastic kit modeler, you should have no problem "kit bashing" the crappy Black Pearl you got stuck with into a quite nice decorative display model. The "bad news" is that Black Pearl is a movie prop and not an historic ship that...

    "Cheap" Amazon Black Pearl 1/50 Kit (***Don't Buy!***)

    ...first). I have built plenty of model car & airplane kits in the past, and decided I wanted a cool wooden ship, so why not start with the black pearl!? I didn't want to spend the money on the ZHL version because if I messed up, then I could use the excuse of "It's my first wooden ship...

    ...can build your model however you like. But I hope you don't get annoyed. Take a look on the internet. There are instructional videos for Black Pearl by OcCre. That will definitely help you. Here is the link: Otherwise, stick to your building instructions, especially if this is your first...

    What is going on in the latest Paint Offerings?

    To put a finer point on it, for the immediate pre-WWII period, at least, the real question is when the Navy stopped using premixed colors! There is a lot of confusion and false assumptions concerning US Navy's paint manufacturing and color mixing during the year prior to the Pearl Harbor attack...
