Just got back from an awesome trip to Disneyland for my birthday, and that's when I realized I have made very few Pirate related props! If there is one thing I like almost as much as Halloween, it's Pirates! Since I was a kid, Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland has been the coolest ride, ever, and a ton of inspiration. I am torn between Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean to which one is my favorite, but I'd have to say Pirates because usually after the first rain you get a whiff of what I call Caribbean scent! I wish I could bottle the smell of the chlorine, fog, and water that emanates from the main doors of the Pirates facade! I love it, and I love it even more when I get transported to the days of blundering pirates when I smell anything close to what the ride smells like! Squabbling aside, I've finished the helm and ships wheel thus far. I plan on aging both, and then attaching a bucky adorned with a Pirate costume. I also picked up two half barrels at Home Depot to make one barrel as seen on http://www.halloweenforum.com/halloween-props/100752-pirate-themed-haunters-43.html by Hirez00!
Still need to add the bucky with scary terry servo and my monster guts controller to slow down the speed of the wheel!
