I'm 55 years old and haven't built a model since the age of 14. I was impressed with how you were able to age your ship. But what impressed me most is the techniques you used to make flowing water around your ship. I've never seen water around the model looks so realistic. I learned something here today and that is good thing. Thanks for the video. I never thought a loctite model could but so good.
I am a retired disabled guy that has always enjoyed building models but I just built them. Today yall put life to them. I can only keep trying to learn stuff from your videos. Sailing ships are my strong models but the sea is what I am scared of trying. You are really good in my book. Thank you for making your videos.
The use of greys was a brilliant way to create the texture and depth the black alone lacked! And Bravo to Anyone even Attempting Rigging on that base! Very nice work sir.
Nice. I tried my hand at a sailing ship, the U.S.S. Constitution, I believe it was Revell...but I was about 10 or 11 at the time...so very much still learning. When it came time to the rigging? WAY beyond my ability!! Moved on to airplane kits, spaceships, R/C....then had my flying career. Retired 767 captain now, and surprisingly, still have some modeling skills. But, videos like yours are valuable for technique and ideas. Kudos.
C'est vraiment une magnifique réalisation montrée ici et très très haut la main, c'est du très grand art... 'Du level' comme on dis... 😳, moi j'en vois une photo, d'un navire tel que ce 'black pearl' et son 'fantômatique' équipage se dirige tout droit et près à sortir de son cadre maritime suivi de son canot de sauvetage en remorque ... J'ai ce même black pearl et actuellement dessus, et je ne cache pas m'inspirer très largement de cette réalisation de toute beauté...
Just watched this, this morning. ( Whilst in bed with a coffee(lazy morning day))I bought my partner this kit last year. She is now sat up in bed assembling this, her first model kit! Later she will do it downstairs.
Progress report- she has completed the hull and masts. She’s proud of her accomplishment so far. Thoroughly enjoying herself. By the way Alex, don’t apologise about your English. We understood it perfectly well and it’s better than my Portuguese which is non existent!
For some reason, the word "pirate" helps selling ship models...i found once a fine lindbergh model of the french frigate "Flore" which had to withstand the indignity of being downgraded to a "jolly roger pirate ship". I suppose it has something to do with the idea of catching chidren's fantasy, so every ship with sails and cannon from the carrack to the first rate man-of-war becomes a "pirate ship"...the only problem is that these models aren't by any means "toys". This nice and well built diorama represents a medium sized galleon, certainly not a pirate's favorite mount! Nicely done, anyway, and beautifully rendered water!!
Amazing diorama. The gold is, i think, entirely too bold. But the rest is absolutely beautiful. I was wondering about the sails, until I saw them at the end. Wow 👏👏👏👏
I have seen resin used as water on many modelling channels not look as effective as the finish you have created here, Alex. Most effective and a fantastic result over all for a kit model.
I just love old history ships! The black pearl looks amazing. I bought the HMS Victory and I am currently building her, you are helping me very much thanks!!!!!!!
I find it really amazing how Revell released both the "Black Diamond" and the "Black Pearl", I like to think the Diamond is one of the ships of Captain Sparrow's fleet, the Pearl being the flagship and such. I don't know for sure but it's possible.
😱😱😱 That was AMAZING, Alex!!!! Not just the hand painting, but the dio and rigging are awesome!!!! Just goes to show that even a snap fit kit can be turned into a modeling work of art by a skilled builder with a vision!!!
It's an absolute pleasure watching your builds.....they are always full of tips and techniques and I particularly like the creative dioramas you create. You come across as a person who really loves building models....regardless whether they're ships, planes or futuristic concepts and you enjoy sharing it with us. Thanks again and look forward to seeing what's next!
Well done, the work that went into that rigging was phenomenal, did you ever think of adding crew ?, no one seems to do that & with that much detail it might have been nice but great job.
You changed my mind on snap Fits !! This is a beautifully detailed kit. After my Captain Kidd and Jolly Rodger kits are done I will definitely pick this one up. Great job !
Alex, you always impress me with your builds and dioramas. You do fantastic work. As you always say keep modeling and always, always model with a smile.
Brilliant build as always alex your work always makes me try abit harder in this hobby your a true craftsman love your work and i can't wait to see what you build next.
I just passed on one of these because I thought it was a toy... now seeing what a magnificent model you made from it, I might go back and get one then give it the Houdini treatment! Also good tips on the gold coachwork Alex...
I took it as a toy also... But for a small fun project is very good! And on your experienced and talented hands it will look much better than this one Im certain
Super job on this one, how you made the water just great. I really enjoyed the video, I may have to try out making the water for my submarine kits, Thanks.
Gracias por compartir experiencia, quedó precioso, muy buen trabajo,enhorabuena me encantó..🤙🏼🙌🏼⚓️🌊🌬⛵️, un poco ladeado o escorado de costado igual más realista( consejo o pienso)…pero quedó excelente
Fantastic little kit ! Will definitely buy this bugger. Just got done with Linbergs Capt Morgan and Capt Kidd ships. thinking of this one before I start Linbergs jolly Rodgers. Try these Linberg kits.. I think you'll like them.
Arrrr....THAT BE A FINE BUILD....Arrrr......THAT WAS COOL YOU GIVE'IN A SHOUT-OUT TO THE ERROL FLYNN PIRATE MOVIE'S---THOSE MOVIE'S WERE MADE IN THE MIDDLE TO LATE '30s TO EARLY '40s......
Brilliant use of different grays to give it color texture. Damned good idea to honor the old black/white movies that were partial inspiration for the film in the first place. And to be honest, your sea surface technique improved drastically since the Caravel.
That's a Beautiful kit build up very awesome my brother keep up the beautiful model build's. I love to see your work,I will keep building always with a smile.
i see on the video that u had the same problems with this kit just as i did one anchor didnt fit on the side and the back plate of the ship didnt fit but this model was so fun to built it took me only two days with all the weathering and it looks great. great job and keep it going
The Black Pearl is one of my favorite fictional ships But the sad thing is that I don't have a model kit of it Since I'm planning on getting the Zvezda IJN Shinano model (note the Zvezda model is a relaunch of Revells Shinano) And after when I get the Shinano the Black pearl is next Great build
I thought you were wasting your time and talents on a snap-together model....boy, was I wrong! Great looking build....I'm fairly jealous of your knowledge and skills.
Well, since you asked nicely for a sub, you got one! And because the final result is amazing, I ticked on the bell too. I'm 19 and I just got HMS Victory on which you did a video awhile ago. I'm afraid I'll have to postpone it for the future because all those threads are really scaring me hahaahah
@@AlexModeling Also, can you help me figure out enamel paint in general? I only know that you should mix it with thinner but I dont know how much thinner should go in specified dose of paint. I'm struggling with Revell and Testors enamel paints :/
On enamel paints you should ONLY use enamel Thinner ok? Check if you are not using acrilic thinner because if so the paints wount be good for use. All paints regarding to mix should always get at the end kind of a milk consistêncy.. try to put the thinner drop after drop, mix it and check for consistency until you achieve that milky kind of smoothness
@@AlexModeling Thank you very much. One more question: When I mix paint and thinner, it can be used by airbrush? I mean, after use you just use a bit of thinner to clean it and thats it? Again thanks for your help
great work again. well done on the rigging! absolute 'mare doing that! i recently finished the Airfix 1/72 golden hind really glad i persevered as the ship looks wrong without all the rigging.
I'm 55 years old and haven't built a model since the age of 14. I was impressed with how you were able to age your ship.

Hi Joseph I suggest look up: Rasin Black Pearl Diorama....
I am a retired disabled guy that has always enjoyed building models but I just built them. Today yall put life to them. I can only keep trying to learn stuff from your videos. Sailing ships are my strong models but the sea is what I am scared of trying. You are really good in my book. Thank you for making your videos.
Honored!!! Thank you!
The use of greys was a brilliant way to create the texture and depth the black alone lacked! And Bravo to Anyone even Attempting Rigging on that base! Very nice work sir.
Thank you!
I've been stuck on what colours to weather the 1:72 scale one with, and this has finally given me the answer with the light grey. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
The Black Pearl lives! What a great example of skill and foresight, taking a simple kit and making look like so good.
I do love the Pearl
Nice. I tried my hand at a sailing ship, the U.S.S. Constitution, I believe it was Revell...but I was about 10 or 11 at the time...so very much still learning. When it came time to the rigging?

Great looking ship. But could do with some crew figures. A Jack Sparrow figure stood on deck would be great lol.

looks awesome. i would add some 1/72 scale pirates on board. i think it brings the ship to life. diorama is top notch.
Wouldn't it need to be 1/150 ish? The 1/72 version of the black pearl is significantly larger.
Amazing diorama. The gold is, i think, entirely too bold. But the rest is absolutely beautiful. I was wondering about the sails, until I saw them at the end. Wow 👏👏👏👏
i am deeply impressed, which great results you made with this simple kind of model !!! Again a great pleasure ! thank you for this impressions !
I have seen resin used as water on many modelling channels not look as effective as the finish you have created here, Alex. Most effective and a fantastic result over all for a kit model.
You turned a simple snap kit into art. Really like the black and white movie look. Bravo brother
Thanks Brother. How s life?
@@AlexModeling it's warming up. Finally had more than 2 days without rain. Can't get into the new shed yet though. You?
As usual living One day at a time. But working and riding a horse at the same time helps and its a new work on my ooold job! :)
I just love old history ships! The black pearl looks amazing. I bought the HMS Victory and I am currently building her, you are helping me very much thanks!!!!!!!

lovely model will have to get one. I love these old ships
Very good, in all 10/10. Look forward to seeing many more of your modules.👍
Great job . The water really sells it , no pun intended .
😱😱😱 That was AMAZING, Alex!!!! Not just the hand painting, but the dio and rigging are awesome!!!! Just goes to show that even a snap fit kit can be turned into a modeling work of art by a skilled builder with a vision!!!
Honored by your comment my friend! Thank you!
The Black Pearl my favorite ship.

Alex, you always impress me with your builds and dioramas. You do fantastic work. As you always say keep modeling and always, always model with a smile.

Thanks!
Bravo, un superbe travail .
i see on the video that u had the same problems with this kit just as i did
one anchor didnt fit on the side and the back plate of the ship didnt fit
but this model was so fun to built it took me only two days with all the weathering and it looks great. great job and keep it going
Absolutely fantastic! Love the base too :) Perhaps i'll be as good as you one day
We are all good as long as we build for our own satisfaction and have fun! Thanks
Great job man... really awesome... keep modeling with a smile!!!!!
Kraken job Alex! LOL, couldn't resist!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent build Alex it's looking good👍
Thanks
The ship is very nice
The Black Pearl is one of my favorite fictional ships
But the sad thing is that I don't have a model kit of it
Since I'm planning on getting the Zvezda IJN Shinano model (note the Zvezda model is a relaunch of Revells Shinano)
And after when I get the Shinano the Black pearl is next
Great build
Ok it turns out I was wrong Zvezda's IJN Shinano model wasn't a relaunch of Revells Shinano
really nice job shame thats not the black pearl but still a very nice job
Freedom, that’s what the pearl is.
Just beautiful work.
I thought you were wasting your time and talents on a snap-together model....boy, was I wrong! Great looking build....I'm fairly jealous of your knowledge and skills.
When modeling and having fun never BE agraid of wasting time! :) Cheers
hey Alex! is this a signif. diff in quality to the 1:72 revell kit?
Never built the 1/72... But for the kind of kit this one is very detailed
Amazing ship and great job
💗💗she's a thing of a beauty💗💗
Fantastic Alex this is a lovely model well done keep them coming please 👍👍
Will do
Beautiful.
I feel like all that bronze would be extremely tarnished. in fact it looks that way from movie stills. very nice work though!
Nice One Captain Barbossa. You did a really good job, with this snap Kit.
Awesome job Alex, this was great, need to find this model, well done!...Bill
Thanks Bill
With the official crew it would be even better - chance to make an update with a 3d printer?
Thats not a bad idea!! 🙂👍👍
nice ship model
Beautiful job !
Thanks
Espectacular, Parabéns...
Obrigado Pedro
Fantastic!
Well, since you asked nicely for a sub, you got one! And because the final result is amazing, I ticked on the bell too. I'm 19 and I just got HMS Victory on which you did a video awhile ago. I'm afraid I'll have to postpone it for the future because all those threads are really scaring me hahaahah

Ironic how after all work a few "bumch" of ropes its what gives the ship all its glory Isn t it?
I love it!!
well done ALex
