If that's the case how did those sailor swabs get poxed up to the eyeballs for not using sticky tape. unless it was used to keep their flies taped up ?????

Yep! that would do the trick.

It won't be to everyone's taste. If everyone liked the same thing, the world would be a boring place.

Right now I know that a halfway sensible question at 10.45pm on a Saturday night is virtually unheard of but here we go.
Just watched episode 3 of Black Sails, I love these historically rooted fantasy series.
Anyway the titles show a very stylised Gothic sort of structure which brings to mind the work of a modeller who used all sorts of bits and pieces from models from all periods and all scales to create spectacular 'installations'. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

 

[ChaosCossack]

Yes Del, there's a thread about this very thing around the time the show started. I think you'll get an article if you Google black sail sculpture.
I believe the one on the show is a computer rendering.
I know who you mean and that stuff is amazing but I don't recall the name.

Kris Kuksi was the guy I was thinking of .

Ah yes Del, the labours of a dark and twisted mind. Great stuff!!!

Good grief! I'd love to see this guy's work in the flesh.........something to rival "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Heironymus Bosch, only in 3D. Brilliant!

Bought the Season 1 box set a few weeks back but haven't started watching it yet. Thought it looked promising and at only £9.99 off Amazon, it would have almost been rude to pass on it.

Free on Amazon prime, both seasons, at least last time I checked. (Prime is £70 quid a year and gives alot of stuff, music, films, TV series, and free postage on alot of Amazon purchases - quite worth it in my opinion)

Very good, some times touch too slow for anything to happen. Lots of *******
(My personal favorite is a Scottish pirate comparing two works of art - Tits -> Tits! Fruit ->Fruit! )

But good atmosphere and historically doesn't ruffle feathers too much. Good tunes by Bear McCready (Outlander score etc) too.
Opening credits seem to be designed to make modelers interested

Google his name and there's a lot of info and images of his work.
Here's another .......... next wet day (basically every day this summer) I'm going to run one of these through the telly and see how many models I can ID.

Just finished season one, wow. Thoroughly enjoyed it, can't wait to get my hands on season 2.

Call me old-fashioned and stuck in the last decade, but I actually enjoy collecting box sets and having them rowed up on shelves in the man-cave.

Same with books. Kindle and e-books and all that malarkey have their place, but for me nothing compares with holding a hefty tome in your mitts and leafing through the pages. The physical, tangible product will always deliver that added element of pleasure that the electroinic product will always lack.

Some may disagree steve I can think of quite a few electronic products that will deliver that added element of pleasure. l

Nothing wrong with that if man cave has an established location in the Universe. Its when you have to move house (and in my case - accross continents) that you realise how much stuff has been hoarded over the years and how difficult it is to shift. Plus there is so much good stuff out these days - the shelves fill up real quick...
