Added the angled "tubing" to give it a more 1:1 look to the Black Pearl...

IMO it looks way better with that angled tube in the back now!

Thanks Sal45.....it's just those little things that'll help me replicate the 1:1 looks before going balls deep on the blackfoot bodies (which I have no ambition to start, haha). I need to learn how to cut, glue, brace, etc... all that plastic stuff. I know it's basically CA glue and stuff, but it just looks like a lot of work.

Thanks to eric113 I got a new (to me) winch. So I did a quick plate on the front of my custom bumper and mounted it. Now to just get a controller and such to make it work...Eventually I will get it sunk down into the bumper and have the lead come out the front just the like real Black Pearl.
