Thread: Pirates in backyard, monsters in the front

Tweet

My pirate ship in the backyard is 8x10. My deck is the ship's deck. Wheel I made from foamboard.


Mast is over 20 ft. Made from 2 rug tubes.


British officers should stir clear of this pirate's island.



foamboard, concrete tube, and Christmas balls

All inspirations are from this forum and its tutorials. Thanks for the ideas, folks! For anyone out there who says I can't do that because I don't have any tools, my only tools are a kitchen paring knife and a pencil style soldering iron that costs a couple of bucks.

Looks awesome!

great job.

Very Nice! Will anyone see it in the backyard?

Thanks Capn' Mick and all ye scurvy dogs who noticed me work.
Yeah, I am tempted to keep it up. With all the crates and barrels, treasure chest, and other props I made just for the pirates, I had to buy a 10x20 shed just to store it all. The weather would take a toll on it, and it would become a shipwreck.
