The African Queen continues on her way past the fort at Shona - I know, it is Turkish but it’s the only one I have that is vaguely close to the original!
I managed to get the Union Jack applied to the African Queen - in the film she only sported it when going to attack the Louisa - but I like to see my models with flags!
I did hit a small problem in that the flag is only the right way round on one side - The Union Jack should be flown with the wide diagonal stripe at the top nearest the flagstaff. It is correct when viewed from one side but not the other.
Wrong on the port!
The fort is there just as a backdrop to represent the fort the African Queen had to pass by on her way to the lake. She came under rifle fire from some Askaris but as she had the sun behind her it was mostly ineffective.
Am I going to build a fort for the Germans? Absolutely!
Excellent addition there David!
ReplyDeleteHi Steve J, I shall be running an African Queen scenario at some point so will need to build another fort. It will be fun though which is what it is all about after all!

Be sure to tell us how the tabletop Bogart gets on David!
ReplyDeleteHello there nundanket, Absolutely! I reckon it would make quite a decent solo mini campaign - which has given me something else to think about!

David,
ReplyDeleteFor the sake of authenticity, I hope that you have tipped several bottles of London Gin overboard … or at least into the glasses of volunteers willing to dispose of it for you.
All the best,
Bob
Hi Bob, If it was Bombay Sapphire I would not need any volunteers!
