Олю, привіт. Постійно слідкую за тобою на YouTube. А коли випадково і тебе тут побачив, то і сам доеднався. Натхнення тобі в твоєму хобі. І як завжди, дуже якісні фото і відео!!

Olya, hello. I always follow you on YouTube. When I accidentally saw you here, I joined as well. Wishing you lots of inspiration in your hobby. As always, your photos and videos are of excellent quality!
 
Second that! I have watched your excellent work on U Tube. You are a perfectionist and highly skilled in the craft. Do you intend to keep the shields a natural wood color or paint them?
 
Sorry, but this suggestion seems very Chinese. It would suit a junk.
Something more restrained would be needed here, something that takes up the design language of the Norsemen.

If it has to be a dragon motif, then something like this:

or something simpler like this:

Well, the Viking longboats were called 'dragon ships' (drakuskippan by the Franks) so the motif seems appropriate if not the artistic stye.

First time I've come across this fabulous build, a splendid job.

I have no issue with the builders choice of supports; that's up to him.

These boats would have been sealed with 'Stockholm Tar', which can vary in colour, though often quite dark.
Most period sailing ships had the standing rigging treated with it, hence the black we're used to.

It's worth pointing out, treenails weren't used on the planking, they were fitted together using iron nails/rivets, which stood out, not flush.
