Battleships, destroyers, cruisers or whatever they are?
Howdy
When asked by the local Men's Shed, the Pre-school wanted a replacement battleship. Their current one was retired, battle scarred and the worse for wear.
So last week down at the shed I started making one and then another one
here's a piccy of where I'm at

There's still a bit of work to do to finish them.
It's been fun so farregards

They are a couple of very fine ships you've built Nick.
The kids will love them and sail all around with them.
Well done. Cheers Peter

finish query
Thanks for the comments everyone
They're almost completed
Now a question:
would you use any finish on them?
I was going to leave them "a la naturale" but I've had a couple of raised eyebrows. I suppose I could apply a couple of coats of wop.
what do the experts suggest?regards
