The next step was to start working on the hull and figure out ways to make it start looking like a section of a pirate ship. I glued the sections of blue and white foam board together using Elmer's White Glue All. Then I used painter's tape and wrapped the entire thing together to hold it in place and allow it to dry. I then started to smooth out the rougher places of the hull by adding tape to the sides.
You can see a few of the odds and ends I had laying on the hull at the time I took the picture. There is a small post from one of my docks, a toy crane, a superman toy which will serve as a twin steam engine and smoke stack. A rescue boat. A couple of pickle barrels. And Bosun Grogspar.
If you look at the bottom right corner you will notice my cat ("Monkey") who is "helping" me to build the hull.
