Going Merry Sculpture

Miniature sculpture of the infamous Going Merry from One Piece!
The sculpture is almost entirely made of Medium Hard Monster Clay (with a little bit of handmade sewed scrap cloths, wires and threads). Super glue did also come in handy.
It has a lot of imperfections but it has definitely a big soul; hoping for the Klabautermann to come. I'll find soon some fake little trees for the back, you better hope I'm not forgetting those mandarine trees!
