The San Mateo

Lately I have made tons of progress on the boat model that Marigold gave me for our anniversary last year. It got put aside for a while, for reasons unknown. Planking the hull turned out to be huge pain in the ass. I have a new found respect for all those people that made those on real boats. Steaming and bending a plank the size of a tree must have been a huge task. It would have pissed me off as a boat builder to see any of these things actually shoot at each other and burn as they sink. Mine, although less than three feet tall/long, will be firmly protected behind a glass case once finished.
