A History Of My Bbcc 51 Entry

Remember when I posted the entry with the lyrics to the song "The Marvelous Toy"? Originally that was what my entry was going to be about. The only problem was that I couldn't figure out a way for it to match the description in the song. So I kinda gave up on that idea.

 

I asked a friend on AIM what song I should or could build something off of, and she suggested "Technologic", since I memorized it. I tried that, and I actually had an idea, but I still couldn't find a way for it to work.

 

A week later, I'm sitting on the floor of my room fiddling around with pieces when I remember the song from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End; Hoist The Colors. I had found the right song. Originally I was just going to build a mast with a flag, and I was using all my Bordakh staves as the sails. Then I remembered I had Yetrax sitting right next to me, so I scrapped the staves and used the four plates on the engines. It was still kinda bland and plain, so I decided to build a small ship around it. It went through various stages of tinkering and rearranging to try and find a good design, and finally I settled on something. It still seemed like I was missing something, so I built a tiny patch of ocean/wave around it. It gave the ship the look of being on the seas and struggling, like what the song is about.

 

And I luff it. <3

I played Hoist the Colors in my high school band as part of a medley of PotC songs... didn't really care for the music, but your ship is cool. :P
