[Puppet Guy]

I don't know this guy (my best friend was from Miramichi, though!), but I saw this on the news last night and was blown away by his work:

If you look closely at Derek Burchill’s model ship, The Victory, it’s not hard to see exactly why it’s been a project 18 years in the making.

“The fancy furniture on it, the cannons and making the blocks, you know, the ropes go through ... you’re talking half a millimetre, a millimetre in size,” he explained.


“One piece, for instance, that I showed you, the curve piece, that took me a month to figure it. It was just so difficult to get all those twists and get it right, but that’s the way it goes.”

In total, the Miramichi, N.B., man has completed 16 model ships throughout his lifetime, some even with 36 working mechanisms, but The Victory is extra special.
