The Slightly Over-designed Viking Ship

I have been in Exeter for the past few days with my sister and her family.

It was the last day of the holidays and we spent the day walking in Dartmoor enjoying the sunshine with a refreshing cider.

Returning home we realised that my eight year old niece needed to make a model of a Viking ship for her homework. It was Sunday afternoon, the project was due on Monday morning so the architect and the graphic designer set to work and four hours later produced a rather spectacular, slightly over-designed Viking ship complete with glistening golden deck, gold striped sail and gold shields. Upon reflection we think we might have gone a bit too far!

The only problem now is how an eight year old is going to pass this off as her own work!
