Thanks for your kind words. And you got me thinking. I really don't know about paint, but I guess the people weren't as rich as we are nowadays, so didn't paint their stuff for the beauty of it. I can imagine though they tarred wood, or used natural preservatives (like the red stuff in Sweden). I'll pose some questions. It would be nice to have some colors, I agree.
I was also wondering about the pile of beams as a foot, and considered replacing it by a 'tripodlike'beam structure.
Made a horserider today, but I still need a saddle. More work to be done...
By the way, a quick test of the shipwreck.
