Title: WIP Beau Geste French Foreign Legion and fort
Post by: waco joe on July 07, 2017, 05:52:46 PM

Some pics of a fort that I backed in a Kickstarter campaing and printed on my Prusa 3d printer.  I need to do a bit more weathering on the buildings to tone down the exposed brickwork but overall I am pleased with the result as a gaming piece.  The figures are Old Glory 28mm.  These are what I call proof of concept figures, a small batch that I paint up before I go into assembly line mode.  I have about 60 more ready to go and then to the Moroccans and Berbers.  BTW if anyone knows of Legion figures in the blue great coat but without the back pack in this scale let me know.  I am looking at my old Yaquinto game on the French Foreign Legion as a rules base with a few tweaks.

Nice fort - pity you had to send a figure up into the dreaded tower (if you've seen the movies you know what happens to those guys).

Btw, what's the deal with the supposed heroic Geste brothers? They are guilty of desertion and destroying a fort they were sworn to defend - what would the court marital say?

Love the fort.
With a little more weathering it will be perfect.
