Sailing, sailing, Over the bounding main, For many a stormy wind shall blow Ere Jack comes home again, Sailing, sailing, Over the bounding main, For many a stormy wind shall blow Ere Jack comes home again! The sailor's life is bold and free, His home is on the rolling sea, And never heart more true or brave Than he who launches on the wave.

Courtesy of Capt. Jack Sparrow:

The King and his men

stole the Queen from her bed

and bound her in her bones

the seas be ours and by the powers

where we will we'll roam

Yo ho, all hands

Hoist the colors high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Now some have died

and some are alive

and others sail on sea

with the keys to the cage

and the Devil to pay

we lay to Fiddler's Green.

Yo ho, haul together

Hoist the colours high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

The bell has been raised

from it's water grave

Hear it's sepulchral tone?

A call to all

pay heed the squall

and turn yourself toward home

Yo ho, haul together

Hoist the colors high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

Go away or I shall taunt you for a second time!

Come Sail Away----STYX

I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea

I've got to be free free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the captain so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow on every shore

And I'll try oh Lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory

Some happy some sad

I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

We live happily forever so the story goes

But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold

But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head

They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said

They said come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise

They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies

Singing, come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Come sail away come sail away

Come sail away with me

Life has been crazy busy lately and haven't had a lot of bench time.

I did manage to get the hull together. Not a very good fit of the upper and lower hull pieces. Did get it primed and painted though I still haven't done the false bow waves yet.
All colors are Lifecolor acrylics.

Then it was time for the wood deck from Artwox. This is the first time for me to use a wood deck. Test fitting before pulling off the backing is key.
Stern deck went on with no fuss.

However, the one piece main deck was too short to fit properly. I had to cut it into two pieces to get it to fit on over the turret places which leaves a very small section amidships with nothing. I think the superstructure will cover this area.

More insanity to follow as I get time.

Go away or I shall taunt you for a second time!
