Otzi could have sat down with you and started working with nothing more than a nod of the head in greeting....good work!

Nice kit. What's in the saucers?, I assume pitch glue in one.

I'm guessing pitch and hide glue in the saucers?

Love it...been wanting to put one together myself. Got to confess, I despise working feathers. Everything else is a pleasure. I'm guessing that is pine pitch and maybe red ochre paint or hide glue?
