There are several Black Pearl build logs on the forum. Some with different degrees of weathering. Check out the build logs and that should give you lots to think about. You might also do search for weathering here on the forum.

...and somewhat different instructions, I want this ship to look old and weathered, ultimately I want to build a ghostly Flying Dutchman and of course the Black Pearl, any suggestions as to how to achieve a weathered look would be appreciated, I have some ideas but not quite sure how to go about it

Welcome abord! I think it is a great idea to practice on easier kits first. The Dory is ideal. They do have a promotion, not sure if it is still good that when you finish the Dory and send a picture of it with you they will give you full credit to your next ship. There are a few build logs of...

...get much past the first planking. I sold the kit later on. Just kept building 1/700 and 1/350 warships and 1/35 armor. Then I seen the Black Pearl from ZHL and had to buy it. Haven’t had enough nerve to start it. Then I bought a Midwest dinghy from an antique store. I then just bought the...

...of leather (pic below. Everything you see is leather including the grass). This year I'm making a Spanish Galleon (Same model as the Black Pearl) for my competition piece. It is 100% leather, not including the internal structure. Not only is this my competition piece, but I've been...

Hallo @Chuck60 we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Birthday-Cake

Having come back to ship building after many, many months away, I have started the ZHL Black Pearl and although I have looked through several build logs (and the ZHL manual) am mystified over the purpose of the copper strips over the Keel. Perhaps I have missed something here. Is the idea that...

Good morning Reggie. I missed this wonderful build . Congratulations. Cheers Grant

Latest progress: the coach house thus far.I decided to paint the furniture and houses the same pearl as the bulwarks. Still awaiting doors, windows, corbels and roof treatment. The fancy work at the bow. Done off the model on black card stock with fine line gold pens. Easier than a brush. But...

Good morning Jay. Good luck with your move to Colorado although I don’t envy you with those cold winters….well for me anyway:D. I am a fan of those old river paddle ships and will look awesome on that self. Cheers Grant

I have a Robert E Lee on the shelf. Looks like it’s going to be there for awhile. When I brought my Pearl to Omaha, the mast got banged up. So I didn’t have the masts a rigging done on the SR. I finished it in Omaha because I had two months to work on it here. I’m in Omaha visiting my kids now...

...I’m in the process of making a move back to Colorado so it’s packed away and will probably be in storage for awhile. I recently took the Black Pearl to my daughters and amazingly it made the 1500 miles unscathed. I had also started another ship to put on my mantle under this picture but now...

Hello Sir, did you check the accessories for this model at Hismodle.com? Scroll down and click on Heller 1/100 HMS Victory. I would recommend the rigging thread package and the large blue detail building/rigging book for this model. All kinds of upgrade parts are available from this site.

i would suggest looking at these 2 build logs Mellpapa designed both these ship from scratch he may have some advice for you https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/the-black-pearl-by-mellpapa.5546/ https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/silent-mary-by-mellpapa.9038/page-24#post-381467

Hallo @BrentonVV we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY Birthday-Cake BTW: How is your work on the Soleil Royal going?

Disturbing posts. Naysayers abound in any community. Let me try to balance the conversation. My name is Marc Mosko, owner of Model Shipways dba Model Expo. In 1988 I acquired Model Shipways from John Shedd and Sam Malone and moved their manufacturing facility from Bogota, N.J. to Mt. Pocono, PA...
