The 1790's HMS Bounty swims! I haven't made up my mind about crew figures yet.
I got a start on the 1833 U.S. Revenue Service Cutter Roger B. Taney. She's hard-over into the wind on a 10-foot swell in pursuit of law-breakers. Crewmen will be a must on this vessel. Filing of the waterline hull on the windward side will be tricky.
It has occurred to me that these more complex vessels may be too delicate for school gifts. I have a couple of studier options for my 5th graders.

If you glue the cover to the base such that it doesn't easily come off, they should be fine for anyone except kindergarteners and younger. Not sure how sturdy your masts and such are, but unless they are thrown at a wall or floor would they hold up to normal handling?

I think these are magnificent! I agree with Paul, I think with the cover firmly glued in place, those fifth graders should be mature enough to understand that you don't punt these across the room or anything. Treat them well and they will last a lifetime.
Chris you are one incredibly awesome guy!

After a conversation with our schools principal, The retirement present for Mrs. Borgmeyer goes forward. I was assured she would 100% enjoy such a thing, despite my misgivings. Collecting the autographs from the 5th grade class and teaching staff members went well on Friday.

As the end of this school year and my short career as a special needs reading and spelling associate draws nearer, I finished another small sailing vessel model cube for presentation.
Rather a future history subject. A much older Abigail and Brooklyn merrily underway to sunny parts unknown on their 65-footer.
I used a couple of leftover female figures from the 1/700 scale "Kwitcherbitchin" offshore powerboat build. A #11 blade was used for applying the paint for the blue bikini.

The best jokes are the ones with risk factors.

I had no idea you were doing that. Outstanding! Thank you, not something that's done lightly.
