Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with my first attempt with foam outside of tombstones. Hubby gave me a side glance when I said "I could probably do that". He pretty much dared me so here it is LOL. He was even raising eyebrows at me when I hand molded the corner brackets out of the Crayola clay.

And yeah, most people just buzz past stuff like this but there are the select few that are completely blown away, appreciate the toil and ask questions. That makes it worth while...well, that along with the little ones that the mood of the scene totally scare the crap out of ROFL

Oh, I completely appreciate the effort! Ever see my cacti or tikis?

How would that skull look on the front, like an elaborate keyhole plate?

I finished painting the lid and added the Crayola Model Magic brackets and foam skull

The only thing left to do are the hinges, side handles, a few brass tacks for decor and line the inside with felt.




And the lid under-belly...

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased at my first attempt

it looks great next to Deadeye Drake too. It's the perfect size.

We're going to fill it with fake coins (thanks Oriental Trading for making a gross of them so cheap LOL) and have a blucky impaled to the ground in front of it with a cutlass through his chest with his hand reaching up and into the treasure chest with good ole Deadeye Drake standing over him. This will be right next to our full sized cannon with full sized upright stocks with bucky's in them so it'll make a nice themed scene.

BTW, the skull looks too white so I'm going to drybrush him a bit darker

Great job on the treasure chest and on your tombstones! The devil is in the details but it is really worth the effort!
