talesoftheblackfalcon.com – A Little Ship, a Lot of History

Welcome aboard, mate.

We’ll be talkin’ of the Black Falcon, a tiny ship, but a huge piece of seafaring history.

Dive in, if you will, to the restoration of the foot-long Aurora/Atlantic/Smer 1/100th scale Ship of the Buccaneers of your childhood, to the fascinating seafaring lore of the Golden Age of Piracy,or to the Video Series Production.

Each a project in its own right, and each a piece of the Tale of the Black Falcon.

A clear shot of the heavily modified Aurora Black Falcon from the port bow.

Can you convert the badly scaled model kit from the 1960’s into a reasonably accurate 1/87th scale piece of nautical history? One bad modeler finds out.

The Restoration

Come sail away with us as we look at the customs and questions, the habits and history of the men who sailed during the Golden Age of Piracy.
