Jack Sparrow Flintlock

Very nice to see the final product... Good job.

Looking more closely at the original toy, I'm even more blown away by how well you did this. Very well-done.

Aside from the extra "greeblies" near the trigger guard (as mentioned by GrenadeKing), the main difference to my eyes is the writing on the flat part of the flintlock mechanism, which by chance I just looked at close-up on the MR site yesterday:

'Course, that'd be way too hard to try and accurize, so I won't penalize you.

Yeah a friend and fellow Board member and I considered that, and we both decided it'd be best to leave the script off rather than mess it up. The MR also says "Perry London" on the top of the barrel that the toy lacks.

You really did an amazing job on that conversion. :thumbsup

Awesome work. I have the MR version and you matched it very well. What type of sounds, etc. does the toy make? Is that still functional after the mods you did on it?

Thanks. Yes the trigger still releases the hammer, and it still makes a firing sound. Also, there is a red LED in the barrel, but that is pretty much painted over. Remins me of the guns on the ride.

AWESOME........ :thumbsup

Here's a look at my "rust" on the barrel. According tot he Visual Guide, Jack polishes his barrel daily... Not sure I want to know more about that....

Only problem now is you've covered up the screws, so when the batteries run out....

Ah, heck - just consider it screen accuracy. After all, he only had one shot in the first movie.

Wow. That is superb work. I have the same toy pistol - The grip is surprisingly small in my hand.
What did you do with the trigger guard? Looks much narrower on yours.

Would rub-down lettering (Letraset), or even custom waterslide decals work for adding the 'Perry London' to the sideplate and top?

Top job, as they say. I would've guessed it to be a resin stunt version.

Now, how about Pintels' double barrel flintlock?

I just picked one of these up today. Can't wait to tear into. If only I had your skills...

Yes, I forgot to mention in my run-down that I did in fact thin out the trigger guard with a Dremel (trigger too). Mine is actually thinner than the MR version. Good ideas for the lettering...

Great job..

Where can these toys be purchased?

[Gman666]

I ordered mine thru Amazon for 9.99. I see them at Wal-Mart also.

Thanks.

Greg

 

[Smiling Demon]

Cool, thanks.

I'm heading to Amazon.

 

[Smiling Demon]

Well, my Jack Sparrow flintlocks arrived today from Amazon today.
I just hope mine turn half as good as yours.

Thanks for the inspiration..
