I've got it in the 70s, but it's long gone... Nicely done that one of yours!

Another cracking post Harry, I had this one as well, got it one Christmas and had it all set up ready for me and the old man to battle over, great stuff!!

Thanks chaps. Got the pontoon Bridge to have a pop at next. So that'll be three la Haye Saintes, Fort Sahara, Fort Apache, and Sherwood Castle in the collection!
I well recall back in the early seventies, me and our kid writing to Airfix, to suggest making a Cowboy Town. Kind of copying the 1:32 range that Britain's and Timpo were then knocking out. Airfix would have aced them in HO:00, they never replied. Even today I still think it's an opportunity, proper missed by Airfix!

That's brought a smile to my wizened face that has. What a beauty.

Only a master of evil!

I shy away from doing vehicles, dioramas and terrain because they never look how I want them to! If it hasn't got a face, I do struggle with it. I keep daydreaming about building La Haye Saint, a Celtic village or a Roman mile fort, but I never actually do it. Apart from anything else, I'd have nowhere to put them!

La Haye Sainte!
