The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
After a chat with Captains Duff and Patch at Hammerhead last week, I have made a start on the senics for our game Copenhagen, coming up at Doncaster this coming September.
Here is my rendition for the backscene of the City inspired from paintings of the period by Nicholas Pocock, and C A Lorentzen, plus a couple of other unnamed prints.

First I made my master copy, and then deleted the unwanted foreground, before dividing up the scene into three sections ready for enlarging.

The next stage was to enlarge the sections of the print and add the countryside on either side. They then had to be trimmed to match.

All in place, they were now ready for spray glue to afix them to the backboard.

Whilst waiting for my new spray can of glue to arrive as the one I had was nearly empty, I began work on the 3D elements of the scenics with a look at the Trekroner fort.
