Outstanding paintjob, with amazing texture work on every surface. The ageing spots on the old man´s forehead look particularly convincing. Not sure about the NMM, it is very well executed but I feel "true metal" would have worked better on a larg(er) scale modlel like this one. Also I have never imagined Ahab with a rifle, a harpoon would have been more appropriate - the model looks like a big game hunter rather then a whaler (obviously not your fault, just a thought I had).
