These forts and batteries would also be perfect if you ever felt the need to refight Nelson's assault on Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 1797.

That is why I built them generic, so they can have multi use.

Cheers Neil, they just balance at the moment, haven't worked out how to make the clips yet.

Well if you're ever in Tenerife, the military museum is outstanding and stuffed full of models of the battle and the various forts and batteries. I've got photos here somewhere, if you're interested.

They even claim to have Nelson's missing arm! Honestly, if it's not nailed down.....

I've not seen his arm there, but they do have the gun ('El Tigre') that took off his arm. The gun used to be in the museum (Fort Almeida, which was built after the Napoleonic Wars), but it's now in an underground exhibition beneath the Plaza d'Espana car park, where they've excavated one side of Fort San Cristobal (which looks very much like Willz's fort above).
