If the Black Pearl wins awards then the "Flying Dutchman" will be one of the most amazing ships you have ever created, much respect and congratulations.

ZIX used to be a great fan for army model, so he has his own idea and understanding for the painting and assembling for Black Pearl.
This is his first time to deal with Sailboat Model.

He starts to do the first step of making Black Pearl in his tiny room.

Please notice that you have to polish the groove or the contaced part of the two items on the middle deck.
Notice that there will be slope on the edge of the wooden plate which was cut out by laser machine, so you have to do some polishing to make the surface plain, matching with the related items.

Looks like fun.

The player is very satisfied with the matching of different parts of the hull, the whole structure looks well balanced.
Polish this part to make the contact surface larger.

Lay the decks.
As it is the first time to deal with a ship model, he lacks of some experience on dealing with the skinning process and plank work.

As it is the first time to make ship model, there is something wrong to deal with the deck part.
The correct sequence should be dealing with the deck first, then lay the planks onto deck.
Thanks to the model structure, this can be compensated later, that is one of advantages of Black Pearl.
