For a long time I've been looking for a suitable ship for my Teddy Bear Pirates from Eureka. I always had in my mind it should be some sort of rubber duck looking vessel, but I never found a rubber duck I liked. One large enough to be a ship big enough to carry more than a couple teddy bears.
Well, that all changed today during a trip to Target. In their "cheap crap" department at the front of the store, they had these great plastic rubber duck watering cans. Shown in the photos below with a Eureka Teddy Bear Pirate for scale.
I wanted to get this posted now, before I had a chance to do any work on the duck, because I figured these were seasonal items for Easter and/or Spring, so might not be around in Target for much longer. And, I wanted anyone who was interested in getting one, to have a chance to before they were gone. For more details see my blog: link |

Thanks for the encouragement, folks! I forgot to add that they were only $1.00 USD each! |

This is the most childish thing I have ever seen relating to wargaming. Well done. I love it :) |

I've had the chance to work a bit on my Pirate Teddy Bear Duck Ship this past week, and thought I'd post some photos of my progress.

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
