In a few days it will be my dad’s birthday and he will turn 72. Me and my sister want to surprise him with this post.

He started building ships out of nutshells when he retired from his job. He’s always been very fond of bricolage and DIY, and he has extremely good manual skills. He likes to build his tiny ships paying attention to the smallest details, and I think the results are amazing.

Here are some of his creations for you to enjoy!
