The digital rout suggested by Ian has proven to be far cheaper and I think the renders are stunning.

I'm preparing a post on the development of rockets by Sir William Congreve but essentially yes they proved to be very inaccurate although Congreve worked until his death to improve this.They were used en masse in the war of 1812 and proved very effective against the American infantry where "Never did men with arms in their hands make better use of their legs". The rocketeers were trained at Woolwich SE London very close to where I lived for 20 years and the old barracks still remain (I think as private housing now sadly). I think they only saw action once in the Peninsular, in 1813 but as you will know my blog is very much inspired by the Sharpe TV series and I have long loved the 'rocket' episode!'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182231306997961847.post-20560825558649470242019-11-08T15:01:27.236-08:002019-11-08T15:01:27.236-08:00Your buildings look really good and the tonal fini...Your buildings look really good and the tonal finish on the roof being spot on.
