This may be of interest you aye' Then again it may not ...,Savvy?
What say you ta that?

props?
in Pyrate Pop
Copies can infact be better depending on what it is and who made it and from what. For example a Star Trek Phaser
can not be had. But a GREAT copy can be. And some originals were in fact junk., resin dummies. Now with that said a HERO prop., or copy of one is what you are really wanting . For example my POTC coin is made of pewter which for me is garbage gold plated or not.
However the fine detail of it under a magnifying glass reveals HIGH detail., which is why I cast it in RomaGold Alloy and Sterling Silver and ., yea I have a 14k solid at 38 grams.
Then again the original chain tho it my be movie accurate for me is not too good and certainly doest warrant enough trust to hold my SS let alone my 14k coin there for I have chosen something non movie accurate however it looks great...,and is much stronger,
All in all it depends on the prop.., and how bad YOU want it., and how rare it may be and whats it made from?

I say DO IT !!! I have bought most of my Garb from Ebay vendors and am REAL happy., alot for my wife as well., also many other things,. but yea buyer beware., plenty of scammers there., I have even sold a few things that were hard to get at the time (until so many others casted doops off me that I quit) However THis is just stupid I would definitely send him an Iron Bess AT Disney unit LOL .

Has anyone made or know anyone interested in making a protective pouch for a flintlock pistol. Just curious what other pirates arr storing thier weapon in?., I was thinking on the leather pouch well greased? My Military heritage sea service pistol is already starting to show signs of oxidation and rust., and I have polished it off and it now is becoming more regular., whats everyone use for so picking it up isnt a grease ball .,yet at the same time keeping it protected?

I went on a book buying binge thru Ebay a month or so ago.
I finished "Treasure Island" almost immeadiately. Loved it.
I finished Blackbeard "A reappraisal of his life and times. Loved it.
I am just starting "Under the Black Flag. I wanted to save what I thought would be the best for last.,so far this is pretty great. Loving it.
After its finished I will be reading "Terror on the high seas". Looking forward to it.
With all the software out there a really good book is a quite refreshing and welcomed change of pace.
These books are GREAT!!! Highly recomended.

I can appreciate that!., But I have already finished the game.., to get bigger ships try this: Go to loan shark borrow money deposit all you have in his chest then borrow again and deposit in his chest again., over and over and over.., finally after an hour or so., therell be big $$$ in the chest., collect all of it and go to him again and repay., he will ask for only 1 borrowed amount of the many many times., that way he will think he is paid up...., otherwise he wont loan again. Then go buy a battle ship//. stay with standard guns., upgraded guns take much longer to load. And YOU must find Rhiems on the island of Douwesan
or youll never get to the end

Cheers Capt. Gary to you and the Royaliste
Many more kegs o' Gunpowder & Rhum !

It was great., very informative., I enjoyed it!., Also they had "the Bounty" right afterwards. I'd like to see them again. Kidds plight was questionable., but his trial was bogus with the govt hiding his papers from him.

Cleaning out the shop tonight Yee-Haw !., (right). Making room for the Hern Cannons., Thanks a bunch to the Royaliste for the Heads-Up on Hern Foundry. The people there are great and the cannons were more than I expected really great work. I did not choose as nautical a piece as I would have liked to., I went for size since I will be shipping these overseas I cant go to big., but bigger is better on a sea wall., I cant imagine a 24" gun doing my sea wall any justice.., The size of these in combination with the weight factor., made my choice for me.
I opted for the 2/3 scale 3" ordinance rifles at 340 lb's and 55 1/2 inches.
Mounted in a Hardwood and Steel.., Naval trundle with 10 X 3 cast iron wheels a stainless steel elevator wheel.,and lots of brass fictures including the trunnion caps should get them naval looking as much as they can be . The cannons should weigh out to about 700 lbs each finished on the wall.
I will snap a few photos soon enough., thanks everyone for the sound advice and tips to a newbie Harbormaster.., These babies will ROCK HARD! Now it's back to the fort eh?

Actually even middle class Pirates can afford and even buy a piece of a Tropical Island.., I.E. A beach ..., Its not too costly if you shop around., I am but a simple Plumber and I did it....,Its not how much you make., its what you do with it .., *Wicked-Wicked-Grin* I am happy with my 225 coconut trees and humble 157 ft waterfront.

The link below (tropico) pretty well lays it out thus far.

If you want a to do a kit Dixie is cool., and the Italian guns are good., but if you want a lock ready to and want to pay a pistols price., get the Loyalist or the museum reproductions from Military Heritage and you'll find the dollars spent will bring a lifetime of happiness to the man behind the trigger as well as a collectable peice., the military Heritage use a slightly differant steel on the frizzen to throw an even better spark than normal., (yea it smokes at .62 caliber for sea service) also be sure to buy english flints 5/8 or 3/4 from Dixie for reliable spark . I am VERY happy with mine we bought the Sea Service with Brass Fixtures in the long and short models.., I prefer the short., They both come with a hangar fer yer belt., but the shorter pistol isnt as dangerous to run with., (If you are in a hurry palm yer weapon
) HarborMaster

Another question?., I have purchased a Duckfoot Dixie kit as of late. However it is a cap n ball (which I knew) not a flintlock. Is there a duckfoot kit out there in a flintlock version that can be had? In my search I have not been successful. I Just thought the extra gun with my kit would add to my fun., but I am guessing the cap n ball will have to do?
