Congratulations for your buildings, keep up the good job!
The church especially, is very nicely done!

Very nice work! 8)

Out of curiosity, why is one of the figures sporting a white shako? Is that a rank distinction?

 This is a very inspiring project, I love the story and heroism of the first war of unification in particular the siege of Rome, and it is great to it realised so wonderfully in miniature.

Now Geoff, all you need now is to marry up the artillerymen with the cannons.
