Jack Sparrow film is not out yet. But I decided it would yet involve a special ship - Black Pearl. Well, how would Jack get around on the seas without his precious ship? Therefore, I decided to give him a gift this time. What can I say, I am a fan of the Jack character, even more so of his ship. Since I don't want to roam the world running away from Davy Jones. I decided to create a ship of my own.

  1. I have created the hull using a basic structure of sticks stuck together using Glue.
  2. The sticks are made of newspaper and stuck together using glue.
  3. I stuck them side-by side to create the deck-texture.
  4. I bent the sticks at different places to fold it into a ship's hull structure.

  1. Add small details referring the original image.
  2. Cut up small pieces and attach them to create the wheel, sails, ladder, canons, etc.
