Hmm... I have two ideas I came up with for the What If Modellers Pirate GB, but I'm still struggling with DIY and caring issues, so might not be able to resume modelling for a while yet. One idea is probably too complicated to try in a compressed timescale, but the other might be okay.
We shall see............

I ordered some (Pittsburgh) Pirate decals yesterday. These things are very hard to find so I'll be using ones that aren't exactly ideal. Now I just need to figure out what to stick them on...
Yarr!

Do you be need'n suggestions me hearty?
So long as they're not anatomical, matey!
OK problem is, the closest thing to decals I could get are very small, 7.6 mm to be precise. These are actually fingernail decals. I also ordered some "fake tatoo" decals which I assume are a wet and apply so it prints on type thing. I couldn't find anything else in a workable size.
So my thinking is build small and use the small decals because I don't think those temp tatoos will work. Right now I'm leaning towards putting a Hawker Hart up on floats and adding a Texan canopy, the whole thing in black.
I've attached a picture of the decal courtesy of our friends over on ebay.

Otay, I've had a pirate related notion banging around in my head for a while, so I may take a stab at it for this build. However, I won't be 'speaking' like bleeding Robert Newton. ;D

Nice one - I loved the Asterix books when I was a kid - never saw the movies though. After about the third or fourth one, the pirates see the Gauls coming and scuttle their own ship before Asterix and Obelix can get to them. As the pirate captain says "it comes to the same thing in the end and we'll save ourselves a few knocks!" ;D
