A little rehearsal with the first self-made utensils was a must.

I have no idea about ship modeling, but this looks really awesome 👍 Tempting to build one myself some time ..

Looks like fun! 🙂 Would you recommend this kit, or it is a little bit troublesome like a lot of kits?
I have a work-in-progress French Frigate Acheron in 1:200 scale on the side, and luckily I am mostly done cleaning up and correcting the numerous cannon openings on the sides.

Thank you mates. @Treehugger: I have edited the pictures with some comments. The kit is good so far I think, no bigger issues. But I must say that I have no comparison with other kits because it's my first ship.

A lot of ship kits are reboxing of much older kits, and the mold quality or the detailing or accuracy (symmetry) isn't good, or that was my experience with a paticular kit that was old. 🙂

I built the Black Pearl myself and I know how much work it takes. I'm excited about the way you build her and look forward to more pictures.

So, just a short update: there is no update. I will try to find the motivation some day to go on with this project. At the moment I have other interests. Maybe I will have to watch all the movies again to get some "Captain Jack Sparrow inspirations". O am really afraid of the rigging.

Chris, your model looks amazing. Some questions. I see hat the Black Pearl from Revell is very similar to another ship, the Pirate Ship, also from Revell..
Do you know if it is the same?
Did you paint it with black primer first?
What colors you used to give the sense of the wood?

Thank you Raul. To answer your questions:
Yes, the Revell pirate ship is identical in construction and differs only in the figurehead (it's a swan).
I didn't use any primer and painted directly onto the cleaned plastic. I was afraid that the primer would make too much of the wood grain disappear.
I have briefly described how I painted the pearl in pictures no. 10 and 11, please have another look.
