Life of Nelson

A nice copy of "Life of Nelson" is available for purchase
https://web.archive.org/web/20170730...ed/nelson.html
or, a digital reproduction can be downloaded
https://archive.org/details/lifeofadmirallor00claruoft
The book contains a plan of a Martello Tower and a drawing of an 18lb canon
Elevation & Plan of Martello Tower Corsica, and a Profile of the Eighteen Pounder mounted on its Carriage & Slide From original drawings taken on the Spot in the possession of I MacArthur Esqr - National Maritime Museum

More information and photographs of a Martello Tower
Martello Tower No 74

I think there already is a small paper model of a Martello Tower "out there" somewhere, but it is always interesting to see how different designers approach the same subject.
A Martello Tower would make a nice pairing with one of Model ShipYards Napoleonic era sailing ships especially the Lugger or Cutter.

Or as a stage set for chapter 1 of Ulysses.

I had to think about which Ulysses you meant, while chowing down on some Plumtree's Potted Meat.

Without which, a home is incomplete.

Presumably, one could fabricate a 1/250 image of stately, plump Buck Mulligan shaving and place the figure atop one of David Hathaway's Martello towers.
