14 DAY TRIAL // Three friends by the name Josh, Mikey and Joel have recently pieced together a life-sized pirate ship that, although probably unfit for sailing, is pretty impressive to look at.
Just check out the picture above and judge for yourselves if you don't believe me when I say it looks really cool.
As surprising as this may sound, Josh, Mikey and Joel needed just five days to engineer the vessel. Interestingly enough, they did not use any wood or other materials that your ordinary pirate ship is made from.
On the contrary, these three eco-artists relied on recycled cardboard to complete this project.
“Cardboard planks make up its sides, and circular holes were cut out to serve as portholes. Larger sheets of cardboard were cut to make curly waves licking at the base of the boat, while trimmer remnants added texture to the faux- wood on the side of the boat,” Inhabitat reports.
“A tattered, discarded sail was hung from the ship’s cardboard mast. The intricate piece was crowned with a ghastly figurehead depicting a skeleton witch with wild cardboard hair and a curling cardboard tongue,” the same source details.
In order to get their hands on the materials they needed to build their pirate ship, Josh, Mikey and Joel combed streets and collected whatever cardboard they chanced to stumble upon.
