Pirates of the Caribbean "Jolly Mon"

[spencer1984]

Earlier this year I decided to try building my first wooden boat kit. I looked through some options and decided to go with the Lowell Grand Banks Dory from Model Shipways/Model Expo. But of course I had to keep it TV/movie-themed, so I converted it to the boat we see near the beginning of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie as our introduction to Captain Jack Sparrow. The dory kit was great - definitely worth checking out for anyone willing to give it a try - and I had a lot of help referencing the rigging. A full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

This an amazing Dory. I would have never guessed that this is your 1st one. What Scale is it? You got me thinking about building one of these as a Slump Buster

Very nice work. How was it to do the building? did it need any tools we might not have in our model kits? the reason i ask is because i desperately want to build the viking ship for an up helly ya dio
