"BLACK PEARL" Ship Model Kit by ZVEZDA scale 1/72 + Modifications 

Amazing job!!!! Are there any tutorials about the roping(technique) and how to make the cloth sails. Hope to hear from you

Don Brynelsen i don’t have it that small unfortunately, but i do have the 1/6th scale one from hot toys lol

David Krueger thank you man

Scale Hangar 182 thank you very much

Seno Charles Krueger MAKE THE FLYING DUTCHMAN.

Ladies Man 217 Sun-Luc-Dong you know I don’t make these, I’m assembling it which is from a kit, I’m a kit modeler. Sadly, the POTC version of Dutchman is never been made

Ladies Man 217 Sun-Luc-Dong I don’t understand a word you’re saying

I don't get any permission, the track is copyrighted by Disney but i'm completely fine because it doesn't violate any crucial law, it's just that i don't get any revenue is all

- The black is just regular matt black spray paint - I don't use airbrush, i don't think it's necessary because you don't need precision to paint this ship - I just used regular acrylic paint for the weathering and the white marks are just diluted acrylic paint. No fancy product for the paint job needed. The ship is very rough in concept so using expensive paint would be a waste

I even use shoe polish for the deck weathering

@@SenoEricKrueger Thank you 100000 times for your answers mate ! They are very helpfull ! I will contact you back if I need help again ! Thanks again

victor constanrtin thank you very much

Mohamed Farith well....it’s supposed to look like the real ship so thank you

That's cool lol

Thanks. I tried to make the colors and superstructure as accurate as possible with what i have. The kit instructions doesn't really give the right color, i guess it's hard since the ship is just kinda old looking and no gold anywhere

@@SenoEricKrueger if I may ask what fabric did you ise for the sails and with what materials did you paint them? Currently building my own pearl but the fabric I bought appears to be see through.

the quote i disagreed from Pirates 5, he shows no love to Black Pearl and just gave up

@@SenoEricKrueger ikr ? He should have showed more emotion considering the guy gave his soul for the ship before Curse of the Black Pearl. A tear or anything !

Mohamed Farith i don’t sell it bro

Alina Thanks! a month. And that still with numerous errors

Many many thanks

Aureo Kachava it’s a sleek ship, not too big not too small

@@SenoEricKrueger Do still have it

You should look at ZHL model for the Pearl. It is the most detailed wooden ship I have ever seen.

bfellgalaxy Thanks! good luck man, this is very challenging ship to build. Feel free to ask me about this ship

Seno Charles Krueger thank you! And again really, really beautiful work.

Sinks

Yes. It’s nice but it’s not necessarily accurate

keith grant Revell is exactly the same mold, but more expensive than mine for literally no reason. The only thing different from Revell and mine is the flags, but i would tell you this....don’t use the flag haha it’s soooo far from accurate. The flag on google is more accurate than theirs

keith grant i wished for how expensive the Revell version is, they should at least make the right mold for captain cabin, unfortunately it’s the same mold as mine. I had to make my own captain cabin

If you watch the second Pirates movie, that's where Jack chained by Elizabeth at the end of the movie before being eaten by Kraken. It is crucial to have that detail

Filmsparks i didn’t record any of the process, I’m sorry this video is not a tutorial but simply just showing steps, there are too many to record but i can tell you how to do it and you can find some painting techniques on RU-vid because that’s how i do it. The modding has no special technique, it’s just something i put together like modding the stairs steps are made out of cardboard, measuring, matching it with the blue prints i found online, all that stuffs. Also read some references from the Black Pearl by Pete Coleman, search it on google. Painting is started with base color which is black. The next color is depends on what color you want. The deck started of with black spray, then you brush paint it with brown and then some light brown, weathering it by dry brushing some sand color, it’s just the matter of how you build the layers with dry brush and runny paint brush. You have to master 3 painting techniques, regular brushing, dry brushing and wet brushing (runny paint). There are no rules to paint this ship, just get the right color and avoid evenness, you don’t want the color to be even. You want it dingy, dirty, and disgusting looking ship

it's a little too late for that because the ship is completed(?) It's basic painting, just acrylic and water. Please do your homework buddy and research on how to paint models and weathering. I did all the research myself so i encourage you to do the same. This is not a tutorial video, it's a build progress from start to finish

Jared Viking barnacles i made from thick glue and tamiya basic putty that i let dry, i dabbed with sponge to created texture. The glass aged i just sprayed with matt clear coat and then i apply black wash and rub away the excess wash

Jared Viking the matt clear coat will make the glass foggy and the black wash can stick better

Seno Charles Krueger / SilverRazor FX Thank you so much

Ricky i don’t record the process, I’m sorry. But all the painting i learnt on youtube. Go to Quick Kits channel and watch his videos, he deliver awesome painting technique. I learnt from there too

Seno Charles Krueger awesome! Good to know! I just got the kit today from Russia through the mail! I am so exited to start working on it, btw when exactly does one start to do the paint job? That’s where I am kind of confused, is it while assembling parts, before assembling, after assembling? My mind just spins when I think about it

Ricky depends on which part that you want to finished first. You could follow my video because my video shows what i did first and so on

Ricky there are some parts that you have to paint before and while assembling. Small parts like the canons i spray painted on the sprues because it’s so small and then I assemble it and weathered it. The captain windows I assemble first and then painted after. Like i said, it depends on which way you think is easier. I’ve assembled 13 ship models before I assembled this big ship so I’ve learnt the stages from my own experiences

Ricky even some people have their own way on which rigging need to do first because maybe for them it’s easier their way.

Glad you think so!

Cut them apart

@@SenoEricKrueger cool, thanks for quick reply Totally awesome build- you are very talented.

I have no special color. It's just mix and matching color

Thanks, I'm just doing multiple layers of washes and dry brushes

@@SenoEricKrueger nice, so like starting with flat black and just staining with the washes and lighter brown for the worn edges?

@@adriantheweny8052 exactly. Mostly white and light brown washes. I usually wait until dry and then wipe away the excess with alcohol or water

@@SenoEricKrueger nice, thank you for responding! I’ll be doing this set in the future hopefully soon, I might come to you with questions.

I would suggest using styrene plastic. I just had cardboard. If i have styrene plastic i would use that instead

They're following instruction manual that is not accurate. Unless they made the "Wicked Wench" version, bronze figurehead is not accurate, it should be an aged bronze or copper that went green like statue of liberty

thank you!

I only use Tamiya spray paint for the base black. All paint you must use are matt colors, no gloss, no silk. For detailing, i don't use any modelling paint. I use regular school acrylic paint and shoe polish that i coat with matt seal after it's dry

​@@SenoEricKrueger Hey, thank you for the answer :D i apreciate it. Ok Tamiya is just the brand of colors. Does it matter if i buy other brands of spray paints. And did you use Mat spray paint or just black? :D What do you mean by "coat with matt seal" i dont get it. What are the procedures for painting with spray paint for example, the body of the ship. When i spray paint it and let it dry, do i need to put something on it after it's dry? like for wood :D I will look for more trick on youtube, but if you can get me some tips i would apreciate it :D Thanks again. I suggest you do some videos, and make yourself a Donate button :D

Ups my bad, I get it now, SPRAY paint :D i have Airbrush...:D lol Did you Spray paint the cannons also?

How did you make those cooper paint effects ? :D only with those color that you mentioned?

What do you think of Enamels colors? And why did you only use watercolors ? :D

Layering with brown paint, light brown and black

I'm making a ship replica, not a diorama. Figures would ruin the beauty of the design because figures would be cramped and blocking the views

@@SenoEricKrueger different of options on that then I guess. Figures bring it to life so it's not just a ship with nothing happening but like I said difference of opinion

Alan hoil torres no lol

The scale is pretty big so i enjoy rigging, well i enjoy rigging in general lol but if the scale is smaller it would be a pain yes. You have to do it in stages, inside to outside and understand the function of each rigging

@@SenoEricKrueger ah.

Josh Harrow do you have messenger or instagram where we could discuss this? I would like to help and youtube comment section isn’t the best for this

@@SenoEricKrueger I have Facebook Messenger. Is that what you mean?

Josh Harrow yep facebook messenger

Josh Harrow just search seno eric krueger, you’ll find me

Thank you! Cheers!

I combine acrylic colors of green, black and white for oxidation. I usually just experiment with colors like a painter

@@SenoEricKrueger Hi, thanks for the advice.

@@SenoEricKrueger Hi again. Not sure if you remember, but do you know the thickness of your rigging thread? Some of the stuff Revell gives you looks too thin. To me, it looks more like 0.50mm for most of the ship and some 0.75mm?

it's not for sale sorry

Riko Tuko just different box and flags, which none of that matters, all parts are the same. Go to zvezda instead

first last i cut the rolled sails different that the rest to prevent huge fabric build up and also to rig the rolled up style easier. Just research how to rolled up sails for ship model and they did the exact same thing

first last modelshipworld.com/topic/3944-landlubber-mikes-technique-for-furled-sails/

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Thank you. Yes i exactly look at that thing for hours

Logan Mallow i spray paint all of it with tamiya matt black first so the next paint will stick and then i start painting and weathering them with regular acrylic paint. After it’s all done i coated it with matt clear

Logan Mallow some may say you should use modeling paint for this, you don’t have to because there’s no point 😁 it shouldn’t be a tidy work, just building layers of wash with acrylic paint

Chris Myers the wood look achieved with layered weathering. Since this is black pearl, the deck is gritty and dirty. I used light grey wash, black and brown shoe polish, some yellow ochre wash. You just have to find what works best for you. The hull are mostly light grey wash and some dry brush to simulate rotting wood

@@SenoEricKrueger ahhhh, cool thank you, I will play around with it before I work on the ship.

Hand built from a tan fabric colored black with diluted shoe polish

@@SenoEricKrueger thank you very much

@@SenoEricKrueger also one more question at the bottom of the ship you have added like a green sea weed type of look on it what did you use for that?

Marcus flie i use hard cardboard and references

There are so many things wrong with The Black Pearl in POTC 5, included the steering wheel and i hated that movie so I don’t want to build anything based on that movie. I want to match The Black Pearl as i saw in POTC 2, that’s the real Black Pearl! And also If you remember the maelstrom scene in POTC 3, Barbossa steering the wheel not from the side but exactly facing the wheel. This is one of the detail that i believe POTC 5 flawed in. It’s a mistake that you follow anything in POTC 5, The Black Pearl in that movie is terrible

Also they changed the rope used for the anchor with chain out of nowhere. And they put crows nest on the bowsprit for some reason. Changed Jolly Roger flag to stupid Sparrow flag

@@SenoEricKrueger You're absolutely right, since reading that the ship made for the first 2 movies sank, (crew all safe) while they were moving it from one port to another, the subsequent filming would have been done on sets, thus many inconsistencies, and blatant, stupid changes like you mentioned. Hollywood takes too much artistic license for silly modifications, let us have our fantasy as accurately as we, the fans, see fit. 😊 Oh, and your awesome rendition of the ship should be used in any future filming of POTC 👍

@@SenoEricKrueger Inconsistencies in Dead Men Tell No Tales? Yea, like the whole plot of Jack giving away the compass making it possible for the dead to roam free to search for him, Jack was out of possession of the compass several times before, he even gave it away to Miss Swan so she could find Davy Jones' locker. All without any such happenings. A few small changes could have made this one as great as the others, they should have consult us before final editing 🤣

@@raymondblanchard2213 one inconsistency that made me laugh my ass off is that they added “Flying Dutchman” name plaque at the back of the Dutchman ship lol who tf does that? What kind of idiot named their ship The Flying Dutchman? The ship must’ve had a name of its own before becoming Flying Dutchman

Julian Savedra the one that come with the kit is actually too thick, should be even thinner. I used both theirs and mine, mine is gutermann sewing thread

@@SenoEricKrueger What fabric did you use for the patches on the sails? How did you attach them?

Julian Savedra same fabric as the sails. And all i did is just glue it with white glue on the sails

Kev Love thank you

Eddie Ong stairs are made out of thick cardboard. You could make it out of styrene strips, i just have cardboard laying around and it did the job just fine. The sail is cotton fabric, most sail ship model using that

Eddie Ong the railing on the stairs are also cardboard with the end of toothpicks. Toothpicks have decent carving on the end of it, so i used a bunch

Seno Charles Krueger railing of the curving stair are toothpicks too?

@@Babyvipe yes

The Bat spray it with matt black for base color and then start adding a mixture of green, white and black (this will give you the patina color, adjust to your own liking). Seal it with matt spray and add white wash lightly and then add yellow ochre wash lightly. (Do this by looking at the actual ship figure head references) Seal it again with matt spray and you’re done

@@SenoEricKrueger Thank you so much!!

Masquerade of course I don’t sell it :) thanks

@@SenoEricKrueger thats what i thought :) how much is this on amazon

Thank you!

Danke! Yours are actually the same scale as mine. viel Glück Mann!

Seno Charles Krueger danke. Aber mein Modell ist aus Holz, nicht aus Kunststoff.

even better

Seno Charles Krueger. Aktuell bin ich aber erst bei ca. 30 % Ich habe das Modell 2014 zusammen mit einem Heft als Abo. gekauft. Jede Woche 1 Heft und ein paar teile, aber ich habe damals die Lust verloren. So stand das Projekt 3 Jahre still. Ich weiß nicht ob ich es je fertig bekomme. Aber deins sieht total toll aus. Ich wünschte ich wäre schon weiter. 😊 😉

don't lost your desire man, yours will turn out great

Rajesh Sahoo just search zvezda black pearl on ebay and buy, it’s not hard really

Ike Willis thank you

Also, how many hours did you have to put in from start to finish? :)

Saxen Young a month, could be even better if I’m more patient

Wow that's fast, what did you make the stairs out of? And how did you do the weathering on the base?

Saxen Young i was on schedule because i had to finish it before the holiday is over. I made the stairs out of a solid cardboard. What do you mean by the base? You mean the underside of the hull?

Yeah underside of the hull, the barnacles etc... :)

MAX MONEY thank you, appreciated that

Я если что тоже русский, ты реально очень красиво постарался, я бы тоже купил, но не смогу это так красиво реализовать

The product is from Russia, i love it. Thanks. I enjoyed my time

Seno Charles Krueger :)
