pirate-y awesomeness

for our negative one year anniversary, andrea got me this book of pirate automata that you put together. you crank the shaft and this one "duels". actually, it looks more like it's doing a jig than dueling but it's still cool. I'll post more pics of the others when I finish them. these things take longer than painting models 'cause you have to wait for the glue to dry afore you can work on the next step. I think I spent about 6 1/2 hours on this one (including glue drying time). in case you can't tell, there's a cutlass in his right hand and a pistol in his left.
