Extraordinary Vessel!
The Queen Anne's Revenge was Captain Blackbeards 300 ton vessel originally named the Concord, a frigate built in England in 1710. A year later, it was captured by the French and renamed La Concorde De Nantes as a merchant vessel that transported cargo and slaves. She was also just over 300 feet long and close to 30 foot wide with 40 canons (the canons were added by Captain Blackbeard when he stole her from the French). She was the fastest vessel of that time and no other could sail her speed. This was from having 10 sails and her sleek design would cut through the seas...
This model took me approximately 20 hours to complete and was a absolute joy over a 2 week period. I would recommend only taking pieces from the boards for the section you are doing as there are many similar pieces that can be accidently used and cause a complete tear down and rebuild. I also highly recommend using a medium heat hot glue gun that is cordless and glue everything after you confirm correct position/placement. I used a dremel duel heat hot glue gun on low heat and would just draw the glue from the tip without touching the trigger. You do not want globs of glue as it will take away from the ship. Tape the wiring down first and then glue down as it will move around (unless you have more than 2 hands, lol) Take your time and enjoy!
