    I should have a couple schooners and more gunboats coming in the mail (with pivot guns!), but right now I'm working on a Hessian infantry regiment for Black Powder. Here's one of the jägers (riflemen).

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Now using scaled up original plans of the Island to finish off the rest of the coast.
    Just waiting for some more foam and an order from Langton's to arrive before I can start cutting out the Island outline.

    The next process was to rough out the shape of the fort and place the walls roughly in place.

    Having painted a thin coat of PVA onto the Fort to seal and strengthen it I left it overnight to dry.

    During the day I have sculpted the outer defences and PVA glued the surface.
