Wonderful!
She has some others that I provided figures for, but they aren’t painted. As soon as they are, I will post them.
She did a great job, if you look closely and may not be able to see, she has blood from the fish on their clothes.

She's a skillful artistan. Not just the figures, but I'm looking at the painting that was done on the deck equipment and ship in general. Excellent diorama work and presentation. Over fifty years ago, I had built a Tamiya 1/16 scale Tiger I tank, and to paint the crew members I remember using a modeling brush that I had removed all but three or four bristles from such that I could paint the piping on the uniforms, mouth lines, eyes and eyebrows, etc. Obviously my eyesight was considerably better in those days. Now I have to use magnifiers to do ship rigging on my wooden kits.
I have thought about pulling hairs out of brushes…haven’t done that YET!She's a skillful artistan.
