Gents, I have been invited to the opening of this exhibition in Edinburgh and if you are in the city it will be worth a look. If you look at Gerry's website you can see lots of pics and info on his madness.
Cheers

The Scotland-Russia Forum requests the pleasure of your company at the opening of
Battle of Borodino1812 model diorama
at the Scotland-Russia Institute
9 South College Street
Edinburgh EH8 9AA
September 2012 saw the 200th anniversary of the epic Battle of Borodino. Immortalised in Tolstoy’s classic book ‘War & Peace’ and revered in Russia as the centrepiece of the war of 1812 against Napoleon’s Grande Armee, it saw one of the biggest clashes in military history involving over 280,000 troops.
We are exhibiting a remarkable scale model of the battle as well as a large number of copies of original documents from that time. The creator of the model, Gerry West, will be with us on Wednesday to explain the extraordinary detail it contains.

Exhibition open to the public from 26 September - 3 November 2012
Tue-Fri 11am-4pm, Sat 1.30-4pm
