They are quite prolific with their Middle Eastern output Ulrich, you could probably build a whole town on what they have produced so far....LOL I bought the two napoleonic era Hussars but they are still in the grey army. Well done you for tackling them, very nicely done as well.

Thank you all. I have three other middle eastern kits from them and so many things to do

Nice job. It's always fun to see a little scene with so much detail, it really shows the effort and care you have put into it.

Nice work on a Nelly Samy masterpiece. I didn't know whether to point out that when this one was first introduced,
it was noticed that what should have been a treadle on the grindstone was shown as a crank. To mention it now might
be seen as something of a spoiler to such an excellent effort. I spoke to Mrs Fogie about the dilemma and she suggested
that the bloke was obviously using the stone with a hand crank, and happened to be resting his foot on the handle to
stop it whizzing round and cracking his ankle, while he was testing the edge of the blade. Seems obvious when you
think about it - so good job I didn't mention it .... eh?

Thanks again and Mike, I think you are right. Impossible to use it with his foot
