Serving 12 pdr guns is hot enough work without porting a fur titfer.

I don't intend to go back over everything but where I add to units or expand them I will gloss varnish so that everything fits.Strykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-51118244609371479542018-05-28T09:58:41.691+01:002018-05-28T09:58:41.691+01:00Very nice indeed.
