I haven't yet brought myself to purchase a ghost ship galleon just yet.

However, upon looking at MacGyver's AWESOME custom trading ship
http://www.macgayverplaymobil.be/fotos%202010/trading%20ship.htm


is the lower hull interchangeable with the old 3050 style ship?  (aka BlackBeard's ship, or Skull Ship)

I finally have an idea for a new custom ship that will be well-suited to that ghost ship's cartoony proportions reminiscent of old portuguese caravels from maybe 16th century.  Totally non-traditional custom I have in mind.

Btw, anybody have an old (perhaps incomplete or beatup) GhostShip hull they want to sell me?

THe hull of the GhostShip, and especially MacGyver's custom of it are very close in resemblence to a late 15th to early 16th century portuguese style caravell like "The Matthew" ship:

How does your custom ghost ship have outboard chains for the shrouds?  (including aft chains even though you don't have second pair of shrouds)?  From what I can tell of stock photos, the Ghost Ship doesn't have those, and the shrouds/ratlines in fact just hang there, not fastened to anything, no deadeyes, no chains.  Did you glue some on?

Or did you use a 3940 bottom hull?  I'm so mind boggled!
