Eddy, I really like it ! Thus it should be a tough marine of his time..
Is it painted in oils ?

What a wonderful painting Eddy.
I know you are an oil painter, can you described to us the mix you used to paint the wood of this set?
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pedro, Gordy,
Thank you very much for the nice comments, guys!
Much appreciated!
Pedro, I have used sepia, brown madder, ochre, burned sienna and a little black, all in different washes and brushwork, to make sure you leave here and there a spot, so at the end you get a vary of wood colors.
The wheel is finished with satin varnish.
All the best,
Eddy

Nice job. I got this figure for x-mas and it is sitting on my WB, waiting for a replacement wheel from Andrea (wish me luck). I really like the fleshtones.
