    Here is the next installment, along with a Liner I have been meaning to do for a while.

    Sinking Sloop is Milliputted to the Plasticard. Card having first been well roughed up to help with the keying.

    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.

    First I drilled them for a supporting rod.

    Very nice texturing Dobbs, and I love the Martello lookout tower.
    Just missing a few Herring Gulls overhead and nesting in the clefts.

    I have been pondering the use of the fiberglass screen to make gulls as seen here somewhere.

    Thanks for the rep points, Rob!

    I get the feeling that there's supposed to be a picture here, Rob, but if there is I can't see it (also on frame #11).
