Ace of Harbor Bay

The description has a lot of detail. Unfortunately much of it is a bit off. Close but still not accurate.

That's if you're gonna be REALLY picky.

Examples:

A little searching online and you'll find detailed close-ups of the ring and almost every other part.

The bone in the hair I've heard called a sail needle, which I beleive is not proper. It's a little too big for that probably. I thnk it's closest to a sailor's "fid".

Yes, it's a sickness.

And as far as folks who think it's silly to go after a movie character? Well, I'll just say this...it's where the money is right now.

Here's my semi close version large enough to print.

tattoo

I'll leave it up for a bit

I'm just being picky when I say it's the wrong location. To me it would be important for continuity. The tattoo in the movie from everything I can tell is anywhere from an inch to 2 inches lower on the arm than the Jack tattoo. And it is facing the other direction

The tattoo in the movie is different in several ways from the one he has

For one thing the bird is facing the opposite direction

It's also in a totally different location on his arm

That would be the Capri Motel. All the way across Ojai near the golf course.

Not the best but not as bad as the reviews Stitch and I saw about it. Looks like they might have just cleaned it up a bit.

Nice views though!

Ace, my dear man, had I been there, you'd might have found me doin' a lap dance on ye.

Rumba Rue

Ohhh!

I did get quite a few hugs and a couple of kisses...

but no LAP DANCES!

Too bad ya weren't there!

Here be a few of the photos my daughter snapped mostly so I ended up being prominent in most of 'em

Sure was fun being auctioned off for charity to the highest bidding wench!

More festival pics

'SOME Of us didn;t get to GO this year you know!

Aye. I DO know. You were sorely missed too.

Many there was speakin' yer name and wonderin' where ya might be.

I was rather sad myself as I was lookin' forward ta meetin' ya (havin' heard so much wonderful words about ya from Quill an' all)

I'm still grabbing the pictures off my camera as I drove back up Hwy 1 and just got in late last night.

But pictures there will be!!

Aye Twiggy! T'was fun meeting ya as well.

I had a grand time as did my family. It was our first visit to Ojai and it couldn't have been better (well maybe cooler).

I'll be there hangin' round the Tales of the Seven Seas' encampment with the rest of the scurvy dogs from our crew.

I'll be bringin' me wife (the wench on wheels) and me daughter (she's only 16 so hands-off ya scoundrels!)

Aye! Nice site.

I noticed ya sez ya haven't seen any sites for 18th century reproduction ships afloat...

Well the Royaliste is not only afloat but we attack the SF Bay, cannons a blazing fairly regularly.

She's a 71', gaff-rigged, square-tops'l ketch. With the specs of an 18th-century dispatch gunboat.

The captain is always about on the pub.

Take a peek at her site Royaliste

That would be Monsanto's "Adventure Thru Inner Space"

Aye! Thars a good little monkey...NOT you Domino. I was talkin' ta Redd!

Keep up with the practice and in no time.... :)

It'll be interesting to see what they end up doing with Jack in the park.

I imagine he'll be cleaned up quite a bit. Also the idea of a character running around with a sword and a gun probably won't fly either. hehe

I would audition if I thought for a second that the pay would support my family.

I've performed in amusement parks since 1978 and have quite a bit of experience as an actor/entertainer in theme parks. It's never quite the fun job you think it will be. But then again this is Jack we're talking about....

I'll probably just stick to doing my Captain Jack Spareribs shtik since it would also mean a move as well.

Oh well...a boy can dream can't he?

If ya saw Quill's post in the Cafe, then ya know there will be a lot of us there!

And it just keeps gettin' better!

Looks like I'll be headin' down with me wench and me daughter on the 18th!

Well Merry Ho Ho then! :angry:

That's great where on earth did she find it?

I may have something I want to tell Sandy Claws.

If you can't find it at Joanns try Handcock's. I got mine there and their patterns are always 50% off. I am trying to make the vest for my Cap'n Jack (Bartholemew that is). Being as he also uses it when he is performing, it needs lots of pockets added for storing walk-around illusions.

Anyone out there know how to how to incorporate top-it's?

Hmmm

A top-it in a vest? Interesting.

I don't use e'm meself.

But I think I do need ta pick up this pattern ...

and then learn ta sew

Glad ta be of service Captain Morgana.

I may just have ta get me one of them shirts though. Don't feel like makin' me own.

Waitin' on the Tales of the Seven Seas shirts too! They're gonna be right beautiful in full color.

This just keeps getting better and better...

....

I wanna be there when the attorney calls.

Aye Bess! I envy you as this is sounding mighty fun!

Pirates turning in pirates!!! ARRRR!! Get 'im good!

Good find. What on earth made you look on Cafepress for something like that?

One thing to note is that it looks to be based on the tattoo that JD has with the name Jack under it. The one from the film is a wee bit different, starting with the sparrow flying the oppostite direction and differences in the waves and such.

Here's one I scribbled out yesterday. It's a combination of the film version and his Jack ink. It's at 300 dpi so it's much larger than most out there. I'll leave it up there for a bit.

tattoo

Aye! I be interested too, but broke at the moment.

I had them done for my Sparrowish kit.

My wig is a combination of synthetic and human hair. Couldn't get the right look with only synthetic.

The dreds would not hold at all with the synthetic and as I'm wearing it sailing on the Royaliste out in the bay, it goes from foggy and damp to hot and sunny and there's always a ton of wind. So strong hold was important.

So I used human hair for the dreds as they (if perfecty clean, including free from conditioners and such in regular shampoo) lock up pretty well. Do NOT over-do the wax. Too much will actually hurt your cause.

Get a really good metal ratting (back-combing) comb, as they do tend to bend and break. It takes a good strong arm and a lot of time to do it right so they will stay.

There are sites with kits for sale including combs and tons of good info. A google search should turn up good results.

I'm not sure how many close up shots are on my page of my results but I can post one somewhere if yer interested.

Cameras are not period

HarborMaster

True, but then again niether is 4 color glossy cardstock

I do like the artwork though, well done!

I'm still gonna stick to my photo cards personally, considering I have tens of thousands printed already.

Maybe when I'm ready to order another batch...
