Constructing Adelheim, Part VIII -- trenches; painting the walls

As Historicon approaches, we had a work session with Duncan on Sunday.  I didn't get any pictures due to the nature of the work and a little technical glitch with my camera, but we finished the saw work on the trench sections, cut battery bases for the besiegers, and fired up the melting pot for some additional gun crews (another 40 or so gunners) and guns (four more Meisterzinn siege guns, for a total now of 12, and another mortar, just in case...).

Yesterday being a holiday, we sanded the trench sections, cut the felt on the glacis, and painted the fortress stonework in a basic brown.
