Mile Fort and a New Ship

So I managed to get the printer working again and managed to print the CSS Appomattox. This was part of the North Carolina Mosquito Fleet. I purchased the https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/union-or-confederate-army-transport-1-600/ and got permission to modify it. I managed to add two guns and made it into a screw driven boat as the Appomattox was.

I hope to get a basecoat on the ship this week if possible. It should have a simple paint scheme. I kicked off another job to print out another vessel. This will be my second attempt at my Curlew model. Reviewing the book on the Curlew I believe the stern half of the ship is incorrect now. But it will still serve as a proxy until I can do something better. If I am able to get this one printed, I am pretty sure that I will be able to finish out the rest of the ships for the remaining elements of the North Carolina Moquito Fleet. The Union ships will be next.

The Mile Fort

I decided on a paint scheme and ran with it. I am not satisfied with the print job but think it is good enough at this point. Some pieces are better than others. I have added the pictures to the PayHip site.

I plan on ordering another group and a half of cavalry this week. I am deciding between the Old Glory and Rebel miniatures. Both come with a pack of 9 figures and have a look similar to what I have. I also did some work on basing some remaining figures that I had finished. I figure I need another hour to finish that off. I am close enought that I have pulled out my Celts to look and see what I can do for movement trays for them.
