I had time over this past weekend to finally complete my Eureka Teddy Bear Pirate duck-shaped-watering-can ship conversion. I'm quite please with the results.
For those of you who haven't been following along with my last two blog posts; I found this great plastic duck shaped watering can at my local Target store a couple weeks ago. And, it looked to me to be the perfect base to make a rubber-ducky shaped pirate ship for my Eureka Teddy Bears to sail in.
So after a couple weeks of conversion work on it, I'm happy to finally show the finished product for your enjoyment.

It has turned out really nice! |

Very cool…does it sail south in the winter? |

Arr, tis the "Robber Duck", scourge o' the seven ponds!
Best steer clear o' her lad, far better teddies than you 'ave lost their fluff to the cruel corks of her mighty popguns. |

NICE work and VERY CLEVER! (Being that imaginative is a talent by itself!)

Awesome. Looks like something I could use to get my girls to sit and play. |

A lovely job Chris, well done indeed. Nic Eureka Miniatures |

A fleet would automatically form a line astern. Does she get movement bonuses for her secret below-the-waterline propulsion system? +2 for imagination, Chris. |

I will never look at a rubber duck in the same light! But what a fantastic idea! |
| Boromirandkermit | 09 Apr 2013 12:07 a.m. PST |
Very nicely done mate!
Looks fantastic. :) |

Thanks you all for the very kind comments! I'm glad you like the results. I love Gokiburi's quote; and I think I will now have to christen this ship: "The Robber Duck". I think the next one I make will be, "The Jemima Puddleduck's Revenge".  |

Great Work! Thanks for sharing. Mark |

Great Job, I wish I had half your talent and imagination. |
| Frederick | 09 Apr 2013 7:46 a.m. PST |
Y'aar! With a fine vessel such as that, 'tis time for piratin'! |
| Tom Bryant | 09 Apr 2013 9:45 a.m. PST |
BRAVO ZULU sir, I salute you for initiative and imagination on this project. Well done indeed! |
| Delta Vee | 09 Apr 2013 10:21 a.m. PST |
that is just brilliant. bouth sappire penguin and my self have just got great big smiles from seeing it. |
Gabriel Landowski  | 09 Apr 2013 11:17 a.m. PST |
Wow. The only thing I might have done is to waterline it 1/2 to 1/4 under the gun ports. Now you need a little one dragged behind it. |
| Woolshed Wargamer | 09 Apr 2013 12:12 p.m. PST |
I was thinking the same thing. A pirate ship needs a jolly boat even if it is a ducky. Brilliant. |

You are completely barking ! More power to your elbow !! Looks really good. |

My 6 year old daughter just loves it! |
| ordinarybass | 10 Apr 2013 9:16 a.m. PST |
That is all kinds of cute. Well done! |

Looks excellent! Surprised with the traditional mast arrangement though. Would've thought perhaps two masts, angled outwards to the sides, so it could sail in a "wing in wing" arrangement, on downwind runs. |
| AnneOleary | 11 Apr 2013 3:05 a.m. PST |
This has been a real pleasure to watch you do the steps. Fun, fun stuff. |

I only just saw this. Just TOO charming. :) You know, that would make a great Pythonesque pirate ship, maybe with more details, railings, ratlines, etc, etc… Hmmm….. |

Apparently, someone has copied your design, and gone a bit larger, albeit MUCH LARGER. Reports are there's a 52 foot tall one in Hong Kong's harbor. |
