I always enjoy your adventures Lord Raglan but this one is extra special as I am currently building a Rhodesian force in 20mm... your pics are great for reference, thanks for sharing.

That's a great looking building.
If you fancy making something even larger here's a couple of pics:

Tobacco drying barns


More barns, grading sheds and a workshop.

Lovely inspiration for those of us dragging our feet with a similar project  lol
My cunning plan is similar but in 20mm.
Lots of bits gathered….I just need to concentrate  :`
Thanks again for a great project.

Still haven’t constructed the helicopters yet, which are a major part of the period

Because they are heavily fiddly kits? Shame no easy build ones.

A polygamist, Idi Amin married at least six women, three of whom he divorced. In July 1975, Amin staged a £2 million wedding to 19-year-old Sarah Kyolaba, a go-go dancer with the Revolutionary Suicide Mechanised Regiment Band, nicknamed "Suicide Sarah".



Idi’s mother in law insists on only shopping at Marks.
