For those perhaps too young - it's Cap'n Hook - the bits had to look "real" enough but not so real as to scare the locals

Aaaarrrhhh - Ye be Bob. . ?
Where's yer buccaneers lad. . ??

You must be a local

The ship is moored elsewhere but I'm battlin' on

Cant show you, I made a fancy dress costume once "Horror themed"... went as a victim!
I brought a cheap tomahawk and chopped off about 25% of the blade then made up a chest plate and tack welded it to it.
Then I cut a corresponding slice in a Tshirt then dowsed it in red paint... yep looked way too real freaked a few people out, including the police!

That flintlock is an absolute beauty. I'll bet you had a few askers.
Too good for fancy dress.

On the side of his buccan head i imagine.

Sorry..it had to be said.

Give the props you made to a local theatre company. They'll give you a free ticket or two to their next performance.
I've tread the boards many a time in some great pirate gear.

Cheers.
