Nice and interesting as usual! I liked the completely restored set. Brave idea to repaint those old pieces.

[@AncientChess]

+barkbagarn I agree -- an unusually bold step ... reminds me of when they refurbished the Sistine Chapel -- the critics were appalled, but the results were magnificent! These were done by an amazing artist who has her own web site at wildvinecarvings.com. (She found the color combinations a bit odd but diligently followed the colors and patterns of the original finish)

+AncientChess I've got a little more information about those restorations. The painting was actually done by a fellow who specializes in miniature painting -- he even features some of this work on his web site warringsouls.com . The carver I mentioned above is the one who did those replacement rooks.

Hey Rick! I do audio engineering and sound design and if youre ever looking for anyone to polish up the videos and voice overs, feel free to send em over and I'll take care of em for you.

+Downbeat1984 Thanks for the message! I've been using a rather funky 'consumer' program, Movie Maker. Very limited and very glitchy. Believe it or not, I used to work on sound for film ... so I KNOW how low tech I'm going here. Could use your services!

[@Downbeat1984]

AncientChess Sound for film is my favorite, sound design is my true passion in sound. I'd be glad to help in any way I can, let me know! Love the videos!
