Marco... isn't that the 18mm Blue Moon Afghan/NWF fort from a while back???  I remember first seeing it and being very excited... until it turned out they were only producing it in that smaller scale and not in 25/28mm.  Sigh.  I just tried searching for it with no luck.  Is it no longer  available for sale, even in 18mm?

This is 28mm.I got this from Old Glory. They don't have it on their website as there is a problem with their site that everything that goes on it factors in that
 discount they have and this don't qualify for the discount. If you email them they will get you one. This is big it's more than 2' across. I'll take some pics with figures this weekend.

Mark, those are some great looking forts. Please do send a pic of the new colonial steamboat model. I’ve tried to contact him for a piece but never received any replies so gave up. I have lots of his models I got years ago.

Here’s a pic with some of his models in one of my games.

If your talking about Colonial Steamboat you have to message him on FB. Your setup looks great.

Here are the 5 figures I have had done so far. I talked to the sculptor about the tunic being too thick. He tried to thin it but didn't have much success. I may have to stop the project as the tunic looks too much like a coat.

I think the trick would be to make the wrinkles at the elbow and armpit smaller and have more of them, like a thin material crinkles.
