This just gets better and better. The swivels look perfect.

Perhaps I missed it but can I ask, did you make the swivel gun barrels?

Your figurehead looks excellent Marsalv! In your cnc did you have to carve one side at a time and flip the figure over each time or did the machine cut at all angles in one pass?

To scrubbyj427: It is not possible to make all cuts in one pass. At first I tried to mill the figure gradually from all 4 sides - without much success. In the end, I decided to mill on only two sides and finish the details on the back and front by hand. I am satisfied with the result.

Lower and upper cheeks.
