Fantastic paintings!
In one of the diorama's of the interior of the defences that I found on another site it shows Russian Priests blessing the troops. That'll cheer up Bob
Cheers

Sorry to disappoint you Dave, I have already had the pleasure !!
The link shows part of a diaorama view of the interior of the Malakoff whilst still in Russian hands, and the Priest depicted is exactly what I was havering on to Barry about. This particular section of the Panorama became my screensaver a number of years back. I found this through reference to it in the "Crimean War Research Society" journals - some really interesting material in there.

Hi Bob, it wasn't you I actually meant 'Toggy' Bob who is still trying to get over his experiences of Russian Priests from the Borodino games I just assumed you would know about the blessing at the redoubts.

You Guys are really digging up some research materials lately.
Does this indicate that you may have been "infected" through some "exposure"

Bob

Yes it's all your bl**dy fault!
Your as bad a Hilton for getting me involved in yet another period although I have had an interest in this period for many years and my previous attempts of 15mm Turks currently reside in London but I'm much prefering my 28mm which is what I wanted to do in the first place plus the French are happily fitting into my FPW project.
Cheers
Dave

Yes you are right Bob.. I always thought Dave was infected

Dave, I have plenty more Turks to paint for you to give you lots of cannon fodder for Angus to pulverise
Bob

Then I can look forward to the day Omar Pasha, when you lead me with a small British Cavalry contingent forward on an expeditionary force into hostile territory
OH OH -TOO much sun methinks Bob ; or not enough whiskey - could be either.
But then again, could be worse - could be D'almonville or Canrobert in command - and that would mean - Dale
