One of my 5th graders asked for one of my model ships. I chose the Egyptian Felucca to assemble for her as a gift. My sweetie bought me some Plexiglas boxes for protecting and displaying dinky models so I chose one to use. The same AK clear acrylic water gel is applied over tan, for the waters of the Nile. It's curing sort of clear-ish, but one must not rush the chemicals!

Rigging techniques have improved some since I made the first Felucca, so I added a little and dusted the little Nile river sailboat model. "Tizaratti" is the boats name. I don't think she needs to know that this is Arabic for "fart".
It should be cute when it is finished.

But you know one day she will find out. :stinker:

How nice is this, Putting it in a case like this will protect it far longer than a 5th grader will be able to keep it safe.
I given my nephews a couple over the years only to have them disappear with no trace. I don't ask.
