Produced for Flying Lab Software's massively multiplayer online game "Pirates of the Burning Sea", this model was originally made as a small comic parody item; the developers however liked it so much they decided to include it in-game.

On being made into a "serious" model for game development the original model was extensively reworked, optimising geometry to fit within their technical specifications, and textured using Flying Lab Software-supplied TGA textures.

Despite the parody nature of the model, a great deal of effort was taken to ensure all individual elements were historically accurate (ie, the anchor, and rudder lashed to the barrel, and also in the tankard and flagon hung on the mast) - absurd details that make the model all the more comic, I feel.
