This, in medieval clothes stabbed, 'merchant' offered me this, by him constructed, model of a medieval ship for sale. I did not accept his offer, not only because it was too expensive but because it was not watertight as well (LOL). His response can be read from his face. Perhaps he did not understood that I was kidding, possibly caused by some lack of humor.

One for Manic Monday.

It is a wonderfully crafted model that looks like it took a lot of time in the making. It's interesting how the cut-out shows the interior of the ship. Nice one!

It would be too expensive for me too. Not only that, but I don't have a bottle big enough to hold it! lol. That is definitely a "No Sale" look on his face. Nice one for MM.

He is not amused easily Cornelius. The boat looks very good even with 70 degrees list to port. Nice work done on it I must say.

What a expression you captured here Mr. C. That boat looks well crafted, but I bet it was costly. Very good image, but your images always are. tigs♥

Cornelius - Either he is upset at your news of refusing to purchase, or he ate a bad taco for lunch. In either case, you caught him not at his best - something that is quite amusing for the viewer. Thad

We have vendors who sell in booths such as this at what we call "Flea Markets," SEA. Perhaps he is being bitten by fleas.
How much did he want for this ship?
Great shot and his expression does say it all.

Oh my, the expression on the gentleman is priceless. I love model ships, but have never purchased one 'cause they are so pricey. Maybe some day. Love the detail throughout. Good one for MM, Cornelius.

That is some expression you've captured on this chap's face Mr. C. The ship appears to be a beauty, so he is very talented. I like JimBob's comments - cute for MM.

A nice model with detailed craftsmanship. Somewhere he lost his smile needed to sell. I'd need a lot of space to truly enjoy his creation.
