Pirates of the Caribbean

-




A version of Pirates of the Caribbean created under my model railroad table. Includes minature scenes of the "Dead Man's Grotto", "Fort and Ship Bombardment", and the "Burning Town". Visitors have to crawl through on their hands and knees to view the scenes under the table.

Scenes are made from cardstock, Paper Mache, acrylic, and Sculpey. Motorized scenes includes a "Davy Jones" Peppers ghost effect in the cove; the Captain waving his arms on the ship with his crew bobbing their heads while "loading the cannons", the Spanish ducking their heads at the fort; Realistic fire in the "Burning Town" done with waving light bulbs.

The “south seas lagoon scenes” are on a segmented belt (called “belt 1” in the diagram) very similar to the “carousels” you might find at an airport. These belts travel in front of the portholes around the main turqoise backdrop and back to the starting point on the right side of the portholes. The Atlanis, volcanos, and sea serpent scenes are also on a smaller, belt (Known as "Belt 2" in the diagram). This one travels along the inside of the longer “south seas lagoon belt”. The polar icecaps, like the dock wall, is a ...
