Hi
After watching "Pirates 2" my girlfriend presented me a large map of the caribbean including an old-looking picture frame. The problem was: My room had a "Sin City look", mostly black with white raindrops on the wall. The map didn't realy fit.
So what did we do? We made plans to change the complete room and make it look more "piratescum-looking". On our research we found this picture on the official homepage of Dead Man's Chest:
First we made all the black walls white again (never paint your room black when you are not serious about it. It's hard work to re-white it
). This took us two days...
Later we thought about the spaces where the back-windows of the ship would be. Then we painted a small caribbean island on the walls so when you look outside the windows you'll see a caribbean scenery.
After three days of painting the picture was done and we could start building a wooden frame for the captain's cabin. This included a sideboard under the windows and a strong frame for the windows itself.
When this was done and fixed to the stonewalls we were able to start attaching mahogany-looking panels to the frame. And this is where we are at the moment.
More pictures will follow as we proceed... So stay tuned B)
