You need any extra help? I already live in that persistent frontier, well most weekends.
Me attracting the birds:
20+ years games modder/developer experience and weirdly a reenactor of this period for the past 20 years just search the net under this name, usually mission making, modelling terrain (3dsm/milkshape) and splash screens. I'm an Art/Creative Director by trade but presently have a lot of spare time because I'm stuck at home looking after the kids.
I know quite a lot about the French Indian wars and have read almost everything you can read about it, teach it in schools and public displays and most of the gear and weapons are strewn throughout my home, dozens of uniforms all the major weapons, charlevilles, bess's, snow shoes, hawks some of it original antiques.
Well I could go on and on, I think a while back I did some stuff for that cowboy mod some splash screens and a few models, have millions of pictures taken by me that you're free to use and also I'm an oil painter too.
One of my paintings:
Small publicity film I shot a while ago for the guys who I reenact with in the UK:

I suppose I have a good CV for this mod but I know you're not looking to add to the team but if you need anything let me know, I think it's a great idea, amazing work so far, good luck!
