Hello Dear Friends and welcome back,
For this month’s project I have created a diorama showing battle between a pirate ship and an english sailing ship.
In order to create this diorama I have used the 2 plastic model sailing ships at 1/350 scale.
The ships were painted with acrylic colours and were glued on a round wooden base with UV resin.
I painted the pirate ship black so look like "Black Pearl" from the movie "Pirates of Caribbean" with Johnny Depp
as Captain Jack Sparrow.
I didnt like the plastic sails that were included in the model kits, so I have decided to use tea bags for the sails.
In addition I decided to put a lot of rigging on the ships which was a difficlut task which took a lot of time.
The ocean diorama was made by clear epoxy resin, and the ocean waves were formed by transparent and white silicone.
I have made the explosions with cotton balls and illuminated them with LED lights operated by 3 AAA batteries.
I really like this diorama and hope you will like it as well.
Until next time I wish you all the best,
Many thanks

THIS IS THE DAY YOU AMLOST CAUGHT CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

[@dawidopl1940]

That's the best pirate I've ever seen

[@biggiecheese4791]

So it would seem

[@captainflameheart2562]

Jack

[@captainabefox]

You are a pirate

[@Ronaldo7SUIIIIII]

But you are Captain Jack Sparrow :/

[@ImmersiveGamer83]

The illuminated explosions look so good when it's lit up. Fantastic build and the tea bag sails take it next level. I might try but have a deeper ocean with sailors bodies and a wreck on the bottom. Thanks for inspiration

[@mountain-roots]

Good luck on your build sounds awesome!

[@JustinTuthill]

The sailors would be smaller than rice

[@Thalassohobbyer]

An expression of smoke that was hit and exploded. Complex ship modeling. Ocean waves. Everything is powerful and amazing! And the pirate ship is very cool.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you 👍

[@elvitu8038]

"Instead, I have made the sails from tea bags" You have achieved: *British* P.S. love your work!

[@4THECRAFT]

😄😄😄👍

[@Fury9er]

@@4THECRAFT That is a fantastic idea for sails!

[@Fastbikkel]

Viewer : i don't know how to make sails. Creator : don't worry, i'll show you a technique i call teabagging.

[@shixiongong8517]

@@Fastbikkel I used plastic bags for flags, which recreate fabric texture perfectly. It should work for sails

[@Fastbikkel]

@@shixiongong8517 Sounds nice indeed! I never made ships myself, only planes and some tanks. And i made my last plane around the year 2000. I still follow this hobby and i am amazed at how good people are nowadays. I considered myself a decent builder, adding things to the models that made it look more realistic. Maybe one day i will do it again, i still have all my equipment.

[@dawngable4622]

The idea fir the explosions is a stroke of genius. It looks absolutely fantastic

[@FirehawkSHD]

Me: "How could you make diorama so realistic?" 4THECRAFT: "Sea turtles, mate"

Why are there dislikes, this looks amazing, so much detail and work and the realism

[@harleythomas701]

It looks amazing but he angered us brits by wasting tea lol

[@BlueyWolf]

Some people really hate seing brush used while artist already have airbrush. I often found myself defending myself that brush still a valid thing even if you have airbrush

It's 5.7k likes vs 80 dislikes.

could very well be missclicks or at least many of them especially mobile users.

[@ayipdluffy4800]

The dislike is from the royal navy

[@LiaTsukino]

'That has got to be the best Pirate I've ever seen!' Beautiful diorama, mate! Absolutely blown away!

[@Millioko1324]

This is so beautiful I’m in awe. Details do really matter, it makes the entire piece. I love it!

[@jff1813]

This is absolutely stunning!! I wasn't sure about the cotton explosion, but when the lights are turned on - WOW!

[@lokicooper4690]

Yeah, I wondered how it would look, and it turned out fantastic! Great idea.

[@seanburwell6535]

One of my favorite dioramas I’ve seen. The detail you put into it makes it come alive. Cheers.

[@nurichselbst]

those details are amazing! love the wooden splinters!

[@chrishamilton8134]

Insane, . . I wish I had the skill, patience, and imagination to pull off such great ART / Hobby work like this. . . Just Brilliant

[@4THECRAFT]

Many thanks Chris 👍

[@colinritchie1757]

Brilliant model making!

[@SquidgyBidgey]

Wonderful job. The light seepage coming from canon fire on the "Black Pearl" and through the sails on the destroyed warship are particularly gratifying to look at.

[@robewalk2]

Just when you think ones seen the extent of your artistry and craftsmanship 4, you top it in your next video. You my friend are a true artist and one can see the love you put into your creations and attention to detail. I can almost see Captain Barbosa at the wheel of the Pearl. Well done 4. I hope you and yours are healthy and safe and I look forward to your next episode. Cheers from an old retired coot living in Tennessee.❤️👍😷🍻✌️

[@4THECRAFT]

Many thanks Bob. Hope you and your loved ones are healthy too.

[@jrand2631]

Really amazing - I especially like the explosions, they look so real! 👍👍👍

[@danae5578]

7:02 Don't judge me ... I like how it looks like a cake. Ultimately it is just too amazing for words, to freeze time during a battle and turn it into a night light. Phenomenal work.

[@TomPalm93]

WOOOOOW! So incredible! I'm amazed of such talent. Congrats!

[@bjrnwolf3879]

Details are amazing on this scale !

[@ALFAKEMCOMPOSITES]

unbelievable high accuracy in details! Great job!!!

Many thanks Christina. Glad you like it 👍

"I once knew a geezer who lost both his arms and part of an eye" what you call him? " Larry! , this is an awesome piece , I love it me harty!

[@mountain-roots]

So beautiful. I made a model table and was looking to make water that looked real and am just blown away from your craft. Tea bags to paint 10 outta 10!

[@nikoladze77]

Wow! Fantastic scenery! Excelent job!

[@RavenChopper]

You've got to be the best pirate I've ever seen. Amazing work! Just stumbled across your channel today and am blown away by how awesome this is. Drink up me hearties, yo ho!

Thank you 😄😄

[@chopshop777]

Absolutely brilliant. wicked attention to detail. enjoyed watching it, cheers.

Love ships and pirates! Its an amazing diorama. Would love to see more ship related videos

[@twctoycollections3888]

Amazing work, absolutely impressive!

[@joshuamathieu36]

God this is awesome, this is the beat epoxy model imve seen, and i watched A LOT of epoxy videos ! Maybe i love this one 'cause i love pirates 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sparkomatic803]

Great! This needs to be under a glass dome, especially if you have cats or kids.

Thank you. I have put it on a glass display case 👍

[@fede1969]

When lights are turned off, it looks like a painting. Beautiful!

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@aterack833]

This got really good really quick, right around when you said you were doing the sails different, and the videography was really nice too

[@iccarus1975]

I never thought about painting a model while it was still in the mold

[@gadget19k76]

I tend to do that for the really tiny or fiddly bits that I might break painting if they were on the model, in a hard to reach place once assembled, or I might misplace if they fall out of my clamps while painting.

[@theintellectualnovice7089]

I love the great detail you put into this project.

[@charlieb1613]

Man your lighting took it home!

[@NoseCandyKermit]

Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum always gone 😢

[@Razgriz85]

A more relevant quote from the movie would be "Stop putting holes in my ship!!".

[@dobson.]

Stop just putting random Jack quotes. Its stupid

[@lizardosomgaming9420]

But why is the rum gone

[@michaelrck]

15 men on a dead mans chest "Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of resin" Oh arrh me hearties!

[@wellpaintedstudios]

amazing, just love it. planning on painting up some pirates tomorrow after watching this

[@ScaleMilitaryModels]

NICE JOB! Amazing work I love the final result!

[@johnrettig1880]

9 : 40 Very clever to use the needle threader for the small holes I've done that something for my 1 / 96 scale ships . 59 dislikes ..... Sea sick Landlubbers .

[@The-Man-On-The-Mountain]

Realistic, except for the myth of the pirates having those super ships.

[@matt92099]

???

[@pedrohenriquepensovalentin9229]

Don't destroy my dreams

[@urielramirez1497]

thats right they used small ships no more bigger than a brig to be more faster than galeons and in that way intercept and rob them the black pearl its too much bigger than that so its completley a myth

[@tbaker71]

Well, clearly you are wrong. I saw several of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and there were huge pirate ships, and cursed treasure, and, um zombies, so ... yeah.

[@bobsemple3268]

Uriel Ramirez BlackBeard flagship the Queen Anne's Revenge is a Frigate so its bigger than a brig

[@duffpotski6861]

Oh my God! That is so realistic! Amazing job!

[@madbren]

A fantastic job yep the patience sure do pay off. Great to see such detail in a diorama keep up the wonderful work and stay safe.

[@tobykester1292]

Just an FYI, the Black Swan is actually the generic version of the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean. Actually the Wicked Wench, sorry.

[@ciuciumelcu]

nice worck but the sail on 11 38 i thinck is mounted backwords

[@greybeardgamifying]

I caught that, too. It looks like the fore topmast staysail... and yes, the clew (the part where the sheets, or controlling lines, attach) should rest higher than the tack (the part where the bottom corner of the staysail anchors to the stay). Basically, he flipped it... but that's an entirely forgivable mistake when working at such a small scale. Easy to overlook.

[@maxboonkittypoison]

Oh man, this looks amazing!! I could look at this for hours and hours not getting bored at all. Greetings,, Kitty.

[@GrandmaLoves2Scuba]

I don't understand down votes on videos like this. The creativity and skillz are off the chart!

[@hudsonball4702]

How about a WWII Battleship doing a shore bombardment? Say the USS North Carolina bombarding part of Okinawa?

[@vyren2030]

Ohw yes - or maybe the final battle of the Bismark (R.I.P. Grandpa).

[@IexoPeoa]

Oooo, or the Battle of Surigao Strait! The last classic line battle in naval history!

[@dubbydapanda7189]

little did they know, they were sailing over a kraken!

[@santiagoorozcomontero5888]

You deserve your own museum :D

[@4THECRAFT]

Maybe one day!

[@traceyms1971]

I've watched a few of your videos and loved them.... But this! You are the master of meticulosity and the attention to detail. Well done!

Thank you very much Tracey 👍

Real cool! Let's be acquaintances, but maintain 6-ft social distance.

[@GrrrRu]

6ft is not a social distance *facepalm

[@ElizabethBjarning]

Gr Ru It is.

[@johnphilippatos]

I believe Captain Jack Sparrow would give it a huge thumbs up. If he had an Internet connection that is...

[@cicelylawson2261]

This looks splendid! Those explosions are amazing

[@Fattrac]

Another great project. It looks amazing!

[@marioleonexposito7981]

Ese diorama es de ficción, ingleses y piratas son lo mismo.

[@randomdeadpool]

The pirate ship looks like the "Black Pearl", I was waiting for the freaking monkey from the movies

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

The pirate ship _is_ the _Black Pearl_ - except for the different figurehead, it's identical to the _Black Pearl_ as it appeared in the first film.

[@randomdeadpool]

@@Jan_Strzelecki I think it will look Really cool inside a bottle, how we can see in the 4th movie

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

The reason for the change is that Disney backed out of the licensing after the model was produced, so to sell in the US Zvezda changed the name and one or two parts.

[@randomdeadpool]

@@Jan_Strzelecki Wow, thanks for the info 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

@@randomdeadpool Not a problem :)

[@darthbuzz1]

Hello, great final result. Love the clear silicone and paint for the waves. Great idea.

Unbelievable - that's real talent, you are an artist. If there was a reality show of who could make the most realistic, most impressive piece that delivers the best impact, it would go to you..

[@trevormillard1339]

That was spell binding. Beautiful work

[@mikebrown9718]

I am so amazed at how much talent you have! I’m home resting up after back surgery and been watching your videos all day. From the shark cage, the submarines, the Titanic, all of them! Your fine detail to each one diorama’s is impeccable. I would love to come to Greece and help you rebuild your workshop then give me a few days of watching you make something (I will be in Greece October 2022, not sure where, I’ll have to ask my wife!). Thank you so much for sharing your passion with all of us viewers.

[@4THECRAFT]

Thank you very much Mike. I hope your back is better and you will get well soon. The part of my workshop that was completely burned is still being repaired but I estimate that it will be finished next month or by mid January. Until then I can only work on my smaller workshop ( on my kitchen table 😄) . I wish you will be able to come to Greece. October is such a great month to be in Greece. Still warm but not so crowded like August.

[@MrHellhound1]

Amazing detail. I love it.

[@spudgunjim]

What can i say only WOW, great job well done.
