Argggggg!  What ye be lookin at?  Any scallywag who can't keep his sails in good shape can walk the plank!  The sails I am working on here turned out to be a little small.  They are nice so I think I'll build a smaller ship to use them on.  Now With two days to go until I leave for Chicago I'm kinda worried about getting done.  Oh well perhaps I can fit the time in for new sails about 4:00 am tomorrow mourning.

Here is the figure head I'm sculpting from green stuff.  It's a little ruff but it's suppose to look like it's carved from wood so I am not going as smooth with it as I would a mini sculpt.  Aww who am I kidding.  I'm a hack sculptor.

The other side of the figure head.

A shot of  some of the sculpted detail on the back.  There is going to ge a banner between the heraldic dolphins for the ships name and some decorative foilage frameing the top and sides.

This shot shows how I ruffed out the dolphins before doing to details.  Flatwork in much easier than sculpting in the round but it has its own challenges.  Trying to do two semi identical figures facing each other is extreamly difficult.  As you can see I didn't not get the perfect but then again I'm not a master sulptor and even masters rarely get it compleatly semetrical.  People arn't machines after all.

some of the decorative work on the sides of the cabin.  More green stuff.  These shapes are extreamly simple but look nice.
