![Halloween Pirate Ship - \"Yee must walk the Plank!\" [PG]](/image/F4IDA2SF8J7A0N2/Halloween-Pirate-Ship-Yee-must-walk-the-Plank.jpg)
We took Halloween 2007 to the next level by building not only a cool display, but we made the kids walk up into a pirate ship and walk the plank where the treasure chest full of candy lie waiting. Fog, Lights, Strobe, Sounds and a Parrot! I have include the sound track loop in step 8.
This was approximately a 3-4 day medium level build.

Surprisingly no ... The Acrylic and Outdoor House paint when down very easily and stayed on very well. The only problem I would see is the wearing time. After a week, and kids still play on it, the paint is getting wear-and-tear. But it is foam after all. lol.

Fabulous! Your kids must be the envy of the neighborhood. Was it hard to get the paint to adhere to the foam board?
