You can bring that figure out with a good dose of aquafortis( basically nitric acid) and a light touch from a burnsomatic torch. Birchwood casey makes a product called "Tru oil" which works great. Basically a high speed linseed oil finish. You can leave it gloss or rub it down with a rag and some rotten stone for a oil finish.

Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
