GAP you're missing a cannon on the left below sling. Or was that intentional like Michael Jackson's one glove?

Mike,
I think a lot of people want to know this besides me. What kind of adhesive do you use to attach the figures? Can they ever be removed?

You can pick up those disney guys one ebay at a good price. I have some spare guys I'll be e-baying this week, had them before I sold mine. Jack the monkey figure can be added at but you have to get the barbosa figure to get him. Great looking mods.

GAP I have tried multipal times to get a price on the brass / gold kit and have never gotten a responce. SO do you sell them without a machine and if not do you recommend anyone to do brass plate swap out on a set? Tried to e-mail and pm you no responce.
Maybe you'll see it here.

This is very nice.

Does anyone offer a gold powder coated coin door?

It seems like POTC is becoming more coveted as time goes by.

Can someone please explain why so many people shine a green light on the ship? The ship has nice texture and detail that looks great with a HP or Superbright warm white LED in the spotlight. Green makes it look like it popped off a monochrome Gameboy screen.

The painted chest looks nice.

+1 good thing is your can easily change it for you own taste like castle on MM, personally for me detail of ship is nice by itself the green takes it away
