It may look like the elves have been busy in Santa's workshop at the North Pole making lots of toy ships, but it is just Rieth Creations latest project.

This is restoration work for the National World War II Museum's Normandy Armada Exhibit. The hulls of the 28 ships had to be cut down to the waterline, cleaned and painted.

If you have a chance to visit the museum, check out this refurbished exhibit after the new year.
