A bit bigger than the fort in the last post , a bit pretentious maybe but obviously his pride and joy . I hope it comes in pieces as he'll never get it through the front door ! , once from Facebook . Think I prefer the fort in the last post - more playable .
I see even back then grown men lived out their childhood fantasies, most of my armies shave grown out of schoolboy frustration and envy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a brilliant model - but how does he store it ?
DeleteAnother great find Tony! I too, prefer the previous fort to this one. He does seem quite proud of his creation, it must have taken a lot of work on his part to make it!
ReplyDeleteA lot of work has gone into it hasn't it !
DeleteI prefer the first smaller fort photo. I tracked down this on Getty Images and there is disappointingly little info on this Getty copyright photo:

Never thought of trying to track it down - thanks for the info though .
DeleteWow Tony- that is some Castle Model- way too big for indoors unless you had a very big room to display it- great photo. Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite an achievement no wonder he looks proud of it .
DeleteNot only have castles got smaller over the last 60 years, but sartorial standards have slipped as well. I say we should bring back wargaming in sleeveless pullovers and ties.
ReplyDeleteYes I do like the sleeveless pullover tank top ?)
DeleteI was going to guess 1950's or early 60's based on his clothes.
ReplyDeleteNo worse than a model railroad layout, something that was popular at the time. Looks more geared towards parades than battles but a pleasure to view!
Yes I think it is for display rather than play .
DeleteBlimey, wonder how big his dice are?
ReplyDeleteHUGE !
