Previously lost in the sands of time, Peter Helm's original article on how he built his Foreign Legion fort is available again (illustrated with new photos by me)...

Aaaah, history! :love:

Niiiiice! Or, should I say, très joli, Monsieur le Constructeur! :)

This is really really nice. I just ran a Foreign Legion Scenario with a buddy at the Tactica.
We also had a Zinderneuf, but it was not as good as this one.
Cheers

Nice looking greens.
A bit of nostalgia - I remember the front page of Wargames Illustrated showing his fort and the figures :)

You and me both, but have you got the right magazine? :?:

The Foreign Legion fort on the WI cover wasn't this one.

How intriguing, I wonder who that one belonged too then :?: :lol:
-
It was a resin one, originally from Village Green I think.
-
I am of course wrong, the fort featured in WI was scratch built by Mark Allen. The figures were Peter Helm's.

That's quite a nice looking design.
Look's like more towers than wall.
-
Very nicely done! I'm getting thirsty just looking at it!

Thanks for finding the front cover shot. Thats the one I was thinking of. I think I prefer yours, more space :)
