I think it\'s a very good mini!
I have just 3 advices (more a matter of taste than real criticisms!):
1) I don\'t like the rope: i\'d try with a more yellowish colour (i.e. from brown to light yellow, not white)
2)maybe the cloack would take benefit from another highlight at the very end with orange or similar
3)i\'d give the base a wash with black ink to make it resemble the old polished wooden tables of a ship
anyway, he looks great!
cheers, Luca
