I cordially announce that my "Black Pearl" is finished and ready to be launched after 18 months of efforts, and countless sleepless nights, particularly in the final stages of the build.

Final series of photographs including all the big-plan details will be shot soon, and published in a photo-album or / and slide show movie.

Thanks to all friends for their interests in this adventure and for great support through positive comments and compliments, i appreciate it a lot.

Stay ready, soon will another similar adventure will start, and I shall keep you informed about the build process:
Cheers!!!

Final pictures ( over 60) could be found in my FB photo album: Here I shall post just a few of them since it is time consuming to reduce for mass of pictures size below 2MB.

Well done! It just needs the "Black Swan" on the horizon with Errol Flynn at the wheel, and of course make it an R/C model.

Flynn and his crew would put them all in irons.

Saw the movie when I was a kid of nine. I have never been the same since!

Keith.

Preparing protective display case: decided clear lines with high contrast - not surprisingly

display base is combination of black frames with white base surface to better display hull lines and ship details. Glass frames will be wooden rounded L-shaped profiles stained black, like base frame.
I decided to use glass instead of acrylic glass although it is heavier, but acrylic glass over the time can get scratches which are hard to polish, and since it gather more dust due to high electrostatics, it requires more often cleaning - which means possibly scratches and traces on the surface, besides I was concerned if it would slightly change it's color and got darker due to the UV rays. Glass is glass, and I ordered my glass to be coated by the safety film foil which would strengthen it and prevent eventual breakup in the case of some accident, and in addition has high UV protection (about 99% of UV rays stopped)
Still didn't decide if I should put inside LED lights strips or not....
