    Sorry the French Forign Legion was never in Egypt on the grounds that it was a British Colony. I think the African Country that you are searching for is Algeria. But none-the-less an awesome job on the figures and the background!

    Oh I hear voices...

    "Tiens, voila du boudin, voila du boudin, voila du boudin,
    Pour les Alsaciens, les Suisses et les Lorrains,
    Pour les Belges, y en a plus,
    Pour les Belges y en a plus,
    Ce sont des tireurs au cul".

    Excellent work, Duncan! I admire it! I like painting, plot, disposition and idea!

    How long did it take you to make such wonderful diorama?

    Hi - thanks for the feedback.

    The figure animation and painting to me a while...a few years in fact; moving round the globe and work got in the way. I had seen a FFL diorama in a very old Toy Soldier book and wanted to try and build something similar.

    I’m making a few wagons and supports – plus a troop of Spahis and a troop of the 1st Regiment, Chasseurs d'Afrique...when I get time that is.
