That's a great scene! You can build some neat small ships out of non-pirate
pieces - then you could do a Commodore Perry scene.
Well, you have definitely inspired me - I already have my pirate crew
assembled, and I'm going to start working on my junk today. I have some
questions about Japanese naval history (for you or anybody else who knows):
-did junks ever carry cannon?
-would sailors/pirates have been armed with muskets, or only swords and such?
-what would they have worn - helmets, bare-headed, or the pirate 'do-rags'?
Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your pics.
-Marc
