hello Luiz, at last I received the K&C Wall, I expected it a little higher, from the pictures I had not understood the real height, however, a very nice piece to complete my Desert Village Collection...finalmente!

Thank you.

Now that's what I call a fort. Very nice Carlo. In fact this whole thread is excellent. Robin.

I just wish our friends at K&C read this thread and learnt how come up with modular sets that could be sold to us and we can then conclude the set ups....for now all they have given us has been the gate wall, the straight wall and the tower......but no proper corner towers like these made by Carlo to allow us to actually build a fort.....talk about short shighted strategy......{sm2}{sm2}{sm2}{sm2}

RIDOTTA CAPUZZO

Fort Capuzzo or Ridotta Capuzzo was a fort in the colony of Italian Libya (AOI = Africa Orientale Italiana), near the Libyan-Egyptian border and next to the Italian Frontier Wire. The Litoranea Via Balbia ran south from Bardia to Fort Capuzzo, 13 kilometres (8 mi) inland, west of Sollum, then east across the Egyptian frontier, to the port over the coastal escarpment. The fort was built during Italian colonial repression of Senussi resistance in the Second Italo-Senussi War (1923–1931), as part of a barrier on the Libya-Egypt and Libya-Sudan borders. Amseat is the name of the region.

The Frontier Wire and a series of forts including Fort Capuzzo, were used to stop the Senussi from moving freely across the border. The fort had four crenellated stone walls around a yard, with living quarters on the edges and was the base for border guards and Italian army armoured car patrols. A track ran south from the fort, just west of the frontier wire and the border, to Sidi Omar, Fort Maddalena and Giarabub. The fort changed hands several times during the Western Desert Campaign (1940–1943) of World War II.

Interesting story regarding this fort. Like the little vehicle too, quite unusual. The fort facade looks great. Robin.

 

[TomNT]

Excellent Carlo, that fort is a ripper as is the little Italian truck! Who makes that truck by the way?

thanks Robin, thanks Tom, the vehicle is a FIAT-SPA Artillery Tractor TL37 produced in Italy in limited edition (quickly sold out) by two skilled model craftsmen of Florence, it is suitable with K&C range. As I know also a kitchen version exists.
These guys produce many other strictly ltd items and figures of the Italian 'Regio Esercito' and fascist period in the IIWW. For those interested in more informations and pictures they can send a PM to STENROME ID here on the Forum.

Very nice diorama! I love the fort Capuzzo and the italian car.:salute::


You just wrote one historical mistake: Lybia was not a part of AOI (Africa Orientale Italiana), but it was another separate italian colony. AOI was: Eritrea, Somalia, Etiopia, and not Lybia.
