Everybody have own hobbies, within a lot of different hobbies. Reading, writting, painting and playing sports.
One of my hobby is to make a scale model because I love toys. But the toys I have, most are just for the children, so I didn't joy cause of their size, shape or ability. Since I was a child I want a big toys but they are too expensive for me. So I decided to make my own and it become my dream. At that time I don't have any idea and knowledges how to start work and I also don't have any stuffs for my creations.
The only thing I have is passion. I can't spend a lot of money so I think I could use the recycle things to create my dream. At first I faced a lot of difficulties and it seems like I am doing impossible things. Theres is no empowerment for me and nobody interesting to help me. But one crazy thing in my mind drives me to go on. I learned from experiences and understood how to utilize stuffs.
Most of the stuffs I used are old platic cardboards, bottles, old calenders, old toys pieces, wire tape and color sticker etc. "Black pearl" the famous pirate ship from "Pirate of Caribbean" film. I like that ghost ship very much. And I want to make the sailing ship.
First step: Use Platic cardboard to form the main body of ship. Use wire tape to hold the body frame of ship. And cut the small pieces of cardboard to support the frame.
Second step: Made the cover for the floor of the ship and put to the main body. Use the stick from calenders as the pole that hold main sail and top sail.
Third step: Made the captain's cabin and decorate with color sticker for details.
Fourth step: Made the bowsprit from chopstick and use strings as the rope tie on the mainmast.
Fifth step: Assemble all the commponents and we get the ship.
Note: I do not describe all of the details steps because it may make you bore. And I took nearly one week to finish this ship. And it can really float on the water. Thanks for your time and I would like to share some more my creations next time. Have a fun time................................................................
