Happy Halloween - She Sed She Wanted a Pirate Ship

Six weeks to build, 32' X 7' X 20' mast, all built out of scrap except for the characters, mast, and hardware. Three fog machines, the sound track is what will play while on display. Killer party October 28th, you're all invited LOL.

That’s pretty epic. Nice build.

Hopefully the dealer markup on the TRD Matey addition wasn’t too bad.

 

Arr, she be rustier than a sailor's knee joints!

 

Last piece of this project, with a few ideas from awesome members here we now have an animated captain's wheel:

Next year, if there is one, learn to prog an Arduno and animate a skeleton swordfight!

Too ambitious? NAAAAAAAAH!

 

Last addition . . . for this year + wife's Bostie. Party pics coming tonight. Pardon the scissors I broke a wrist and it's holding it while the glue dries LOL

 

Thats crazy epic. I always wonder what one does with monster displays for the other 11 months. Is the ship a permanent installation, or does it all collapse down to go into storage?

 

tHANKS MAN! We have one skeleton hanging in the tree in front. When I'm asked this question I point to it and say "that's the last guy that asked where I'm going to store it!"

The guy around the corner has TONS of huge manufactured displays, I think he uses a storage.

I was opting for a bonfire, wife says "NO WAY!" It all comes apart with screws so most of it is flat panels. The only issue is the bow, it comes apart in two halves so it's difficult to say. I was going to put an awning by the back garage, maybe slide them on top of that. We'll see.
