With Manzanera Island in the spray shop, I decided to crack on with Fort Niebla.
Here I was lucky in two respects. There was an 18th century plan and I had enough parts left from the San Pedro build.

Scaling up the plan I fitted the parts which needed little fettling over the plan.

Next I cut a plasti-card base to the shape of the fort plan and assembled the parts

The next job will be fitting and gluing the walls in place.
Rob.

The work continues with gluing up the fort.

The last piece goes in.

Rob.

Today I ubnder coated the fort.

Then gave it a base coat.

Whilst it was left to dry I marked out and rough cut the headland ready for terra forming tomorrow. ...

Thanks for the rep points, Rob!
