Finished cork woodduck

[Mean Gene]

Finished painting the cork body/wood head woodduck I carved last week. Not entirely satisfied with the blue on the back, so I think I'll alter it later. Wasn't looking for fancy, merely functional. My objectives in this project were as follows:

1) Carve a woodduck, and have it actually end up looking like a woodduck (that's always handy).
2) Give it a gunner type paint job that would be easy to reproduce when doing a run of multiple birds.

I'm hoping I at least met those two guidelines. Here's what I came up with as a first attempt.

Looks amazing to me but if it keeps you up at night I'll send you my address.

Fine work.

Gene I believe you hit both your objectives. Nice looking bird

[Capttrae]

Very nice

[NuffDaddy]

Well done!

That bird will hunt Gene. I've found cork to be, for me, difficult to detail and you did great with it.
