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

    Now ready to start work on the town section.
    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.

    I continue to build my Spanish port. I have finished painting all the buildings and adding the vegetation.

    Now I have painted and textured the sea, I have added the piers and I am starting with the ships that will set the harbor.

    Seeing photos online of harbours of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries I found some very interesting images. It is a ship maintenance operation called careening.

    It occurred to me to represent this operation partially in my port. And I say partially because I am not going to represent it 100%, the careening put the boat at 90 degrees and I have only heel it over a bit. For this purpose, I had to model the bottom of the ship.

    The rest of the rigging process is the usual one, being the final result as shown in the following photos.

    And finally, a global photo of how the port is looking.

    I hope you like it
