but I’m struggling for head ideas. 

Most likely something with a beard and scars.

She's come a long way.

You'll see more pictures shortly. It's been adjusted for the BDP. I had to straighten the mast since there are no mast or cloth pieces available, I'm pleased with how the brick built ones have turned out, but an angled mast isn't sturdy enough to hold them.

If your brick built mast is made from 3062s (round 1x1s) then you might want to try a trick I learned from the great Kurigan.  If you run a thin wooden dowel through the hole in the center, you gain a great deal of stability.  87087s can be placed on the dowel as well to add an attachment point for spars.

I hope that helps, and I'm looking forward to the finished product :-)

Give us a heads up about those, would be interesting to see which torsos ye considered for Pintel and Ragetti.

Aye, they look good!  I have been thinking about that torso for Cotton fairly long. I suppose it is the best one out there (seeing as I have not spotted more accurate ones).

Following a lot of the blueprint that @_R_R_ layed out, I finished my Pearl reimagining.

 Hope you guys kind of get some joy out of it, even if it is mostly a recolour.

This is really cool matey, I'm glad I inspired you! 

Sadly my hard drive died on me without warning a few months ago and I lost everything I had on it, including all my MoCs and latest versions of my Black Pearl project.

To make matters worse I recently cleaned up my Imgur page thinking it wouldn't affect the pictures I had posted here but every picture I ever posted here is gone now! 

It saddens me because some of those pictures were the only thing I had left of some MoCs. 

However I still wanted to work on my Pearl so I rolled up my sleeves and basically restarted from scratch.

This is the new design I have so far, I wish I could compare it to the first version but basically I've changed a lot of details and the positioning of the canon ports. I also redesigned the stern. Still very much a WIP.
