The last pirate skeleton update of today. Some definition and refinement has been added here and there.
I think I'll manage to finish this tomorrow. Stay tuned.
A minor pirate sculpture update…

LuxCoreRender used to be one of my favorite 3D renderers. To name one of its strengths: it's the king of caustics.

Next model kit in the works. 1:1 scale replica of the M29 Davy Crockett. It will be hollow, PETG, and separate the same way the real one did.
The dimensions are correct assuming the antenna dome at the back is part of the over all length (79 cm long 28 cm wide).
There seems to have been 2 versions, one with a smoother casing, I went with the version seen in most pictures. So like all my models there is a bit of wiggle room, however the design is accurate.
