Real boat:
Reflection: I really enjoyed creating this boat, it taught me how to use various tools and stretched my creativity. When making the boat the first thing I did was draw the outline of the it with the polyline and spline tools. Then I extruded the shape and out the back end at an angle. Then I used the fillet tool to make the fron and sides of the boat rounded. After that I made the boat hollow, created the oar holes, and put in the bench, which was just a rectangle. Once I had done all of that I made the oars, which were just a cylinder and a rectangle with the top side edge filleted. This project was very fun!
