    If I was doing that kind of detailed work on a daily basis, I'd drink too. Those are MARVELOUS.

    Beautiful work, Nelson's flagship, "The Victory", was on that ship in the late 70's.

    This gentleman's work is breathtaking, could probably spend hours just gazing at the detail of the ships.

    And still not be able to take it all in. I would be overwhelmed.

    How many alcoholics with boats have I known. Most of the boats were amazingly well kept, but all full size.

    In the Navy a boat is meant to sink, a SHIP on the other hand is meant to sink other ships.
