Title: Hawk - 3740 Ship Custom
Post by: Emma.J on March 06, 2011, 17:14:20
The final ship I've done for the moment is another converted schooner again because of sun damage I've repainted the hull white and added a brown deck.
I saw this great pirate design on the web used for a wallpaper and thought it would make a great sail.

I also added a small figurehead to the front of this ship.

I printed it out on paper and glued it to the sail.

I'm repeating myself, but again a very beautiful ship!!  8-)
And I thought only guys were occupied with customzing their Playmo-ships... :-[
You're a true revelation to us Pirates/ships-theme fans!

I fear there will be many pirates fighting for your heart (and your ships)
These are wonderful.

I may have bought the Victorian house first but the Pirates have always been my greatest passion, I'd love to have one of each ship plus custom versions. There's just something soooooo cool about them. They just look brillant sailing between the islands with their bright costumes and fast ships!

So be warned I may want to takeover your fleet Hadoque. You'll sail into port for a tot of rum and my crew will shanghai your ships faster than you can say ho ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Beer though... ;D

Hi,

Lovely custom, brilliantly done.

The captain's name wouldn't be Geoffrey Thorpe, would it?

Cheers,

AndrewL

until then i even have some unopend boxes (5775 jus arrived a few days ago).  :-[
your blog is worth a visit.  :)
you - and only you - are a true master.

....

  :wow:

 :-[ oh gosh I wouldn't go that far at all, I'm still pottering around and learning how to custom build things. I often start a job thinking it's a good idea but it's not till I'm building something that I find out how much extra work is involved than I first thought ..... and then I usually cut the wrong bits off and have to start again!  8}

I thought your listing were brillant I've got 3 small schooners - blue, red and the victorian one, a large island a couple of small islands and 6 large galleons. I've got a long way to go yet before I can get what I'd like. the trouble is they're so big are the ships I have trouble finding somewhere to display them so they're all stored in my shed at the moment  :'(

Hi yes I've sold all 4, I didn't mention it here as the forum guidelines says we're not suposed to mention our sales, but they were up for sale on my blog site first. Don't worry I'll probably do some more later in the year. All I can say is anything thing you've seen pictures of here has been available to buy.
Thanks for watching!
