And its easier to find parts when you step on them with bare feet, as opposed to your sneakers.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Don't your toes get cold on that tile floor?

Fabulous work.  Look forward to your updates.  Your work inspires me with many ideas for my Connie build.  Keep up the good work.

Very-very nice rigging! A small hint still: For the backwards shrouds make the serving longer, for that all end at the same level! One should not forget the added height of the shrouds that were put first. Cheers, DAniel
