Good day to everyone! I present to your attention my first serious model – tall ship model of fantastic “Black Pearl”! Prior to that my whole experience in modeling were five unpainted airplanes in childhood, so I worked with paint for the first time, too. Please forgive me in advance!

As everyone knows, “Black Pearl” is a pirate ship. Its darkness and mystery was interesting to me, so the choice I made was made very quickly (thanks to two assembled models I peeped on Karopke). It was very pleasant to assemble this pirate ship model, the quality of casting was on decent level. I received great pleasure from work, especially from pulling the rigging. It was hard, but nice and pleasing! Painting was carried out with a brush (I have already ordered airbrush) using “Star” acrylic paints (in my city the choice is small). By the time the assembly took 3 weeks. I gained invaluable experience, I plan later to stay in the marine theme.

P.S. On photos 18, 19, 20 the model is after a small refinement.
