Heckmonthwaite obviously has a history. <br /><br />Tradgardmaster, I used a 3-feet square sheet of blue plastic overlaid with another sheet of clear plastic for that photo. I have an idea for Colonial riverine and lake gaming, so once our house move is over I'm going to expand on the idea by getting a cheap blue shower curtain from the dollar store and another large clear plastic sheet to match.<br /><br />CelticCurmodgeon, yes, I know the novels you mean. Light the beacon and pray that relief arrives soon. - Thanks for reminding me, I need to build a beacon to go alongside the tower!A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197988102951501877.post-44418035982352855892017-08-19T05:13:48.006-07:002017-08-19T05:13:48.006-07:00Wonderful work A.J. a great build.

His comment was that they knew that in case of a problem their mission was to light the signal fire...and sell their lives as dearly as possible. <br />Your modelling work is excellent.
