Pirate Ship

My little daughter is learning and playing about pirates at school and we decide to build our own ship.
We have not tried to reproduce a real ship, just to have a couple of funny weekends without TV :-)

Like the skull the materials are:

• cardboard
• tape
• glue
• a cork
• chopsticks
• rope
• a cloth
• paints.

We started painting the ship ribs on the cardboard.
We painted four ribs, two for the stern castle, one for the prow and another in the middle

We cut some bands of soft cardboard and we used three or four of them to build the ship skeleton.

Wait for some minutes to get consistency and then, start to glue more bands to cover the ribs.

We cut a piece of hard cardboard to create the boat deck. We stared with biggest piece and we cut step by step until get a piece which could be introduced on the boat shell.

Then we add the details, a couple of mast poles, cells under the deck,...

Finally, some paint and dress.

This is the final result
