#(also why are there palm trees? does someone on the crew have a coconut connect like Nami's and mikans?)

Red Force model is done!

Took me over 6 hours to build and my fingers are killing me, but it's completed! I'm very pleased with myself even if I'm annoyed it took twice as long as I had estimated.

Also, a side note. As I was building the model I noticed little details. Like how the accent colors are predominantly red, white, and gold. Or how the trim features white swirl designs that happen to look like a certain Pirate King's jolly roger. And there are similar swirls in a few other places.

You, uh, you wanna unpack any of that, Shanks? Is this a deliberate tribute to your old captain, a subtle middle finger to the people who executed him, or do you have some idolization/daddy issues you wanna talk about?
