I completed this model about 15 years ago. It took me about 2 months of painstaking, fine paint detail. The rigging took me an entire Sunday. It's all hand painted, as the real ship would have been over 2000 years ago. So, I welcomed the brush marks on the hull, deck and oars. I painted the "eye" freehand and used the photo on the box as a reference (different art-work on the original box).
