Time to tackle the transom.

I first tried to create something with card but that didn't work. I thought it would be easier to bend, which it was, but I wanted to cut out a portion to make a balcony for the captain. More experienced card builders probably would've done it with one hand on their back but I made a mess. So back to wood.

Thaaaat's better. The sides are going to be planked and I am going to cut out windows. I hope the captain likes the deco.  Oops, is this NSFW?

The captain, enjoying the view.

Dry fit: I'm happy with it.

Next: plank the sides, make windows nope, changed my mind: make quarter galleries,  plank the deck, make a railing and figure out some more decorations...

You should make some sculpted pillars, maybe some nice mermaids for the captain ... should be a good foot print to work from upwards  ...

    I hope the captain has plenty of odor eaters, as a foot that size would surely have left quite a stink!

maybe use a laundry pin if you do not want to seize up on your clogging when the odor kicks in

The whole thing makes me think of something out of a SF movie ...

This is not a UFO but a UFC  ( Unidentified Floating Clog ) :P

I would sooner say it is an Identified Stranded Clog ... not much floating going on, uncertain about it's floating capacity, and it is certain it is a clog
