The Victory sails again!

This post is actually mostly for Nana, because Adam would very much like Nana to see the boat that he made for the Cub Scout Raingutter Regatta last Thursday.

You are issued with a blank kit, and you get to decorate it how you like. So Jeff and Adam between them came up with the idea of doing the HMS Victory. By the time they were done (they worked on it for a couple of weeks) it was a seriously cool ship!




It had portholes all along the side, it had cannons painted on the top deck, and it even had a little replica of those amazing back windows painted on the stern.


My favourite part of the whole ship, though, has to be that knock-out White Ensign flag. Jeff and I did have a deep-rooted disagreement about the correct quadrant for the Union Jack. I still think it should have been in the top right to be properly correct! But even so, it was far and away the best flag on all the ships that sailed that night!

You are indeed right Alex, top right quadrant. But I am not going to hold that against Jeff as he was willing to help Adam build it in the first place.
