Thanks!  At the moment I don't have anymore pics of my town.  I had meant to
get more pics up sooner but my work has been really hecktic.  Maybe I will
force myself to get that done this week.  I have to take some pics of my
fort and some of my new confederates.  I will also be adding my Texas
Rangers soon.  I will post when I get my guns finished.
