K'NEX Pirate Playship

This is my K"NEX Pirate ship and my entry for the TOY CHALLENGE CONTEST


The main part about this Pirate Ship besides looking cool is that it works.
The whole ship Floats with the help of 8 Mountain DEW 24oz bottles
The ship is a little over 3ft long
Other features on the ship that works are, the door on the captains quarters opens, and both anchors can be lowered and raised.

There is a ladder to the crows nest, and ladders to the lower and upper decks guard rails around the decks so nobody falls out, two gun ports with cannons for fighting off other ships.

This is a great toy to play with in the pool or in the lake or just in your room.

So get ready to set sail and tell Captain Jack Sparrow to watch out there's a new ship in the water lol

So I hope you all enjoy my ship and if you like it you are more than welcome to vote for it

thanks

thanks everyone i really wanted some pics of the boat in the lake but time just wasnt on my side to get better pics of it floating but in a few inches of water proved to me that it would do what i built it for

Very, very nice! A great project. Very unique too.

If you have enough Knex chain, it might be cool to use that instead of the string for the backstays and forstay. Just an idea ;-)

[wtaylor09]

thanks yeah that would have been a cool idea

[apples!!!!!]

Awesome project, I love the floats! You did a great job.

The mountain dew floats were an inspired idea. Thanks for sharing!
