I've rebuilt this one about 3 times. Once after the cat got ahold of it, once after my 3 yr old son Ethan "rearranged" it, and once after moving. It's not perfect, but I like it. I used a watercolor brush with light gray to "weather" the sails, put metal chain on the anchors, and added a little more brass than is on the actual ship. Still, it's a nice look.
