Rod Millard, Greenville, Michigan
The base kit is an old Pyro 3rd century Roman merchant ship, but Rod made a lot of improvements, including wood planks on the deck and cabin, aftermarket deadeyes, and turned-dowel masts. After priming the ship with Testors Model Master Acryl wood, he applied wood stains and artist’s oils to wooden areas. The sea is acrylic gel medium over Tamiya dark blue acrylic with dry-brushed white oil paint for the wave crests.
