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. 2006 [Insert top view layout drawing] "Dead Man's Cove" "Ship and Fort Bombardment" "Burning Town"
