Boat building with a buddy

[corn-fed-erate]

Jason has a friend over tonight. They are having a boat building party. Jason is not focused, just having fun exposing his friend to what he likes to do. Jason made me cut one of his plans out plus they both have parts to make a North Carolina or Raleigh. Which ever they choose.

I think that's wonderful that Jason is doing all those great models and now getting his friends involved! Congratulations, Dad!

Basic hull of CSS Raleigh.

More to come. May need a darker Blue. Picture is darker than actual model.

The North Carolina.

So Cool. Looks like fun and can be an opportunity to be educational.

The friend's boats. Raleigh is not finished, we will finish it next time. The other is his own thing. I let him go and use his imagination.

He has included some new things. His flags raise and lower and smoke from the stack.

Vocabulary is a big one. CASEMATE, HULL, HATCH, STACK, GUN PORT. Plus, general history from the questions that they think of.

The friend went to church "bragging" and showing off his work and the preacher's sons ( 4 ) want to build one too...............Great?!.

But seriously. I was surprised by how this 9 year old boy did on his painting. Attention span was very good, I went to bed and left them working. They had a ball and no batteries or Internet required!

More inspiration - any guesses as to what the original builder was trying to duplicate?
