Hank!!
Mes révérences, je tire mon chapeau.
This is a great feature.
I love the depth and perspective you've achieved. I am envious, too, as I haven't got that space. Massed attack- this is what 1/72 is all about.

The Russian band is great. For that I can give my forgiveness for cutting up the Imperial French band.
And Omar Pasha going fishing is the summum. Of course, a French general would ask la beauté de Kalafat to accompany him for the Diner. Maybe Omar Pasha just doesn't mention it?

Keep going. En avant les enfants!

Michael

Please give you thank to strelets for very wonderful models they produce for us.

Coming soon Kalafat 5. you had little tease already and clues in forum to what is next.

My aspiration for 2010 is for Strelets to produce CW artillery. Turk fez artilelry men crew,and riders( i must have 20 crews) .We need riders :caisson and limbers generic is fine, big box mega box mini box ,anything). in fact a big box with rouskie artillery also would sell navy gun also with perhaps rouskie field guns.

I stress importance semaphore use in cavalry artillery and infantry was teh key field/battle command communication method de jour. S-R please feed your Turkish dancing bear the crusts wearing fez that he seek for his grateful appetite !

The band and the priest are excellent do you have any close ups?

Great set-up, Head for the Guns!!
