Looks great!
I am wondering where those miniatures come from. Some look like Perry metals, but others? |

Beautiful snow effects, is this a game or a diorama? Translate had some interesting words. Great looking set-up. |

Perry throughout as far as I can tell. Even the Opolchenie artillery piece and Jagers in coats and forage caps. The figures are clearly well and truly based and "frozen" to the spot, so a diorama not a game. |

Wow, that's really impressive. Captures the cold and freezing environment very well. Great work! |

Happy you like it my friends!. (smile) Diorama indeed.

I think the Berezina was a little bit wider? |

Glad you said it. I was reluctant to put my head over the proverbial parapet. Criticism, however constructive, is not always favoured. It takes a Connaught Ranger. Liam (Waterford born) |

Sure … there's no doubt about that. Of course if we take into account the size of the diorama … the effort … the will and time … certain details … and the pride that the owner must have felt when he presented it in society … certain observations border on the insult slapped … the petty comment … the joke disguised as aggression … well … sometimes it's better to shut up or not say anything if you do not say something good (proverb from my grandmother)….(smile)

No insult or aggression – it's a superb piece of work that really recreates the atmosphere of a generic 1812 Russian Campaign scene. But the bridges over the Berezina were apparently around 100m long ……? |

Gosh, I feel cold just looking at that! Wonderful stuff. |

Now once they had crossed the Berezina, as I recall, they had to negotiate a very tricky causeway through the surrounding marshland (which unfortunately was not frozen enough). maybe…. I have to say I simply could not make out a trace of a river here, but did see a nice diorama from the Retreat. I agree with 88th of Foot completely about a great generic 1812 scene I think that the comment is perfectly reasonable and not at all aggressive or insulting. The crossing points were much more densely packed and chaotic than this alas. (Grin) |
