Thanks Carl.

Mines bigger than yours Carl and I take more time

and Derek.

In all serious after a lot of thought I have to say this I'm not sure if it's even technically military but eh sue me

Spot on Steve. This has formed the basis for a lot of models. I'm pretty sure Pete Armstrong at Border Miniatures referred to this for his German Mercenary.

I'd be more than happy to chip off a lump of Sevastapol cannon and fashion a medal myself for anyone game enough to tell that Red Cossack that he's fat or any of his mates for that matter.
But here's one I reckon is a fabulous depiction of battle it's an 8 metre ( 26 ft ) panel depicting the Battle of Osaka Castle by Kuroda Nagamasa for the Togugawa clan 1615 ~

Mine's 26 foot long Del, and it's hinged in several places.

Not seen that before Del thats a beauty another to add to my I want list cheers

I guess my favorite paintings would include Lady Butler's "Scotland Forever" and Detaille's pictures of the Grenadiers a Cheval at Eylau/ charge of hussars (often appearing as an etching in history books). Also have always liked many of R. Caton Woodville's paintings.

I Can't show you mine

Its on my living room wall - Portrait of Marshal Ney c. 1809 after Gerard by New York portrait artist Ezra Ames. Got it on Ebay around 2005.

Hi Del,
Firstly great post, the one that always sticks with me is John Everett Millais - The Release Order 1746. Mind Lady Butler has knocked a few good ones out.
cheers

This is one of my favorites as well, and I have been thinking of trying to create a boxed diorama based on this painting. That would be a year(s) long project!

Im missing out on the figure to the far right. He does not seem to be into the scene as the others. Can someone explain it to me or is he refusing to take part?

Cheers
