Only a small update, grabbed a few hours here and there this week, all the runners and riders finished bar a few touch ups, onto the Ottoman forces blocking in the main base colours.

This just gets better every time I look at it, Marcus. The imaginative way you've sketched the terrain map on the sides of the base, & the colour you've painted the field gun are extremely impressive.

Thank you Chris, for a while I was thinking what to do with the dead space between the wooden base and scene, being an irregular shape was unsure if the map would work, glad it’s getting some attention that adds to the story and scene narrative. So thank you for highlighting.

Terrific work, Marcus!

If I may add a geo-historic anecdote: the place of the battleground is now called "Anemones' hill" ("giv'at ha'kalaniot" in Hebrew) and is the final resting place of our late prime minister and former famous IDF general of the Yom-Kippur war (1973), Ariel Sharon. He is buried next to his wife, Lily. Just across from the road passing there, is the Sharon family ranch, "Havat Shikmim" (sycamore ranch).

A website in Hebrew (try google translate on it) - http://www.ww1-israel.org/

The color photos are of the site as it is today. The B&W, according to an Israeli website, are of 1. German aircraft in a field nearby 2. captured turkish artillery from the battle of Huj
