So, Jim, did anything come of this?
Its a very pretty boat.
Reminds me of a similar Boat I own in World of Warships...the German Emden.
I love it!
...
Can I sidetrack slightly?
Since the Texas was also mentioned in this thread (as a lacking card model subject)
I'd thought I would show this project of mine from a couple of years back...
World of Warships had a contest to build a "model" of the Texas.
Prizes include a Texas and Commander to use in the game,
as well as a special Texas Medallion.
The "model" idea was completely open...the overall winner was a stitched, plush Texas about 2 foot long!
Another entry was a Lego Texas, and there was a Wooden Block Texas
...there was even one made from Bananas and other fruit!
Anyway, it was a no brainer that I would do something with paper,
but I had very little time (a couple of weeks if I remember correctly).
No time to design and build an entire ship model.
So...since I really wanted that Medallion...I decided to build my own.
About twice the size of the real Medallion, but to scale.
And I layered about a dozen prints to create an embossed 3D medallion.
I once had an animated Gif of the rotating Coin, so you got a better 3D look at it,
but I can't seem to find it. So, I'll just post a couple of photos.
No...I didn't win a thing in the contest.
But I really like how the model turned out.
