Another POW (German) built model Pondie

Hi guys

Here's a couple of pics of a pond yacht that I recently restored for a guy who's grandfather was a POW in Germany in WW2. I had a ball doing her up and re-rigging her etc. On the day he was picking her up to take her back to his state (interstate truck driver) it blew 7 bells and I didn't get to test sail her with him!#&%##+#
A nice little boat. The hull is solid maple carved out of furniture and some of the original iron bits are on her too.
