The Benson
family are die hard Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football fans who commissioned
this unique model of the team's mascot ship located in the stadium.
Attending
games and taking lots of pictures enabled us to create this accurate
representation of a three masted wooden ship model.
Executed
by a Master Builder with precise attention to detail and quality
control.
A scratch built galleon
ship model made with a solid wood hull which is painted to a
high luster.
The mast
head was sculpted by hand, painted and secured in place onto
the bowsprit.
Under partial sail with
the large red pirate flag fully displayed. Other sails are rolled
onto the yard arms.
Includes all standing and
running rigging lines. Rat lines are waxed and tied all the way
across. Bright red crow's nests hold a combination of metal and
wood block and tackle.
The deck is hand planked
in wood for great depth of realism.
Notice all those details
like the wooden grate, water pails, ropes and of course we couldn't
forget the rum!
The stern includes custom
sculpted ornamentation and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo.
Two bright red flags on
brass poles fly from the stern deck.
Outfitted with four hand
painted solid metal cannon to complete the pirate theme.
The golden hull accents
combined with the red and white detail painting really make this
beauty stand out.
Rather than to display
the name of the stadium on the top sail as in the stadium, we
decided to prominently display the team's achievement of Superbowl
Champions. A tribute to a great year of football for the team
and their fans!
Enclosed
in a custom case made of red oak with shatterproof Optix. Mounted
on unique gold stand offs. Includes custom engraved brass nameplate
mounted on oak.
All woods
are hand sealed and oiled with numerous coats of top quality
oil to bring them to a fine luster.
A fine
caliber model perfectly suited for any major Buccaneer football
fan.
