Carribean: Photo Backdrop completed

I've been searching in art shops and local charity shops for a seascape of the carribean (or similar) which I could use to modify to make the backdrop for posing piccies of pirates etc.; last week I 'struck gold', a nice little print of a watercolour (just 99p) - so it's been adapted by placing some extra jungly bits in front to cover up some of the detail in the foreground which wasn't quite right. Here it is with a few figures...

What's up next ...

A number of things are getting ready for the painting table, on the India front I have

Artillery crew for French
Artillery crew for British
Some European Civilians

All the pirate figures are ready to enter the painting queue as well. Also I will be assembling little piles of lead for India, firstly to complete all the European units - I'm trying to get the uniforms and figures used such that with a swap of command stand they can be used for actions between Wittenberg and Monrovia in Europa
