Beautiful!

Do you build full scale boats this elaborate as well?

The workmanship is beautiful, but what impresses me is the paint job. It doesn't look freshly painted. It looks worn, like it would sitting at the dock. Great job.

I built two steel boats,a 30 foot sharpie ketch and then a 36 foot sloop fold together design.

Thanks!
I paint the models to look realistic. I do not like models that look like a like they were just painted (unweathered).
