This weekend, an old plastic model kit landed on my to-do list – let's see how it turns out. It's originally a replica of the JOLLY ROGER from the 1950s Peter Pan cartoon movie. So, one of the first Revell models still in production. A few years ago, I added some details and refined the little ship model for fun, than I lost my mijo. Now I want to finish the project, and since I was a bit too enthusiastic with the bread knife, I can't really use my left thumb, so I'm squeezing in this little project into this weekend - not to do any harm to my cardboard Models by my bloody wound...
Here are a few pictures, including the reappeared ship's cat.

I'm excited to see how it turns out!

Greetings from the Berlin cardboard shipyard, where plastic shavings are flying again,
