Hi, my last work is a commission for a friend.
He wanted a replica of Jack Sparrow´s ship, based on the scene of POTC: The Curse of the Black Pearl where the ship sinks arriving to the dock.
It took two months to make. The big masts are made of beech and all the small parts of balsa wood.
The hardest parts to make were the platform and the water. It´s the first time that I work with fake water and I had some problems because it needs several days to dry out and the layers have to be 1 or 2 mm thick, if not some cracks could appear and finally it shrinks. I wouldn´t recommend Vallejo, the brand that I used.
For the waves I used water texture gel from same brand.
The flag and sail look more yellowish than they really are, because of my terrible skills as a photographer.
