Robin u r doing an ecxellent work so far.... a bit slow ☺, but steady of high quality! Though I wonder how releiable is to assume that the ancient greeks painted their ships... except from some ornamental paint.... Even the frescos of santorini which are imaging minoan ships (minoan ships are more often assumed that they had some kind of painted parts) show no painted ships. Dont really know the answer... just pointing it out as food for thought. Keep up the good work

Guys has anybody bought the amati kit viking ship? Is the hull wood plywood or is it a better quality?
-
The hull was oak, the deck was pine mostly. No biremes were found ... Though in the port of Pireus in Athens the garages of the biremes and triremes were found. Also a few metal rams used on ythe biremes to ram the enemy ships can be seen in a few museums in mediteranian sea

Thx Dan u r very helpfull... I ll follow your suggestion. But because u mentioned wax... my ropes are allready well waxed... Is that ok.... if I go with the matt black acrylic paint?

I used black rope and the glue stained them... now am thinking of covering the stains with some shoe paint.... I was said from somebody tha so it can be done, but am not sure thats why am asking
-
I prepared deadeys, heartstays etc off the ship. Some glue stains are there now and am trying to cover them before installing them on the ship
-
Can somebody tell me how safe is to use shoepaint to cover glue stains on my ropes? Is it going to fade out in the longterm or is it going to pruduce somekind of other problems?
