Very nice photos Martyn, of a very interesting theme.^&cool^&cool After reading a wonderful first hand account by a Veterinary surgeon trapped in the besieged fortress (which he described as resembling an overturned stool) called "Chitral: The Story of a Minor Siege", I made one of my largest permanent dioramas an homage to the Siege of Chitral. The centerpiece of the diorama is an old K&C wood and papier mache fortress, and the scene is mostly populated with classic K&C glossy Seaforths, Afghans and Field Force sets, with a few Trophy, Heco, A.W. Military Figures and Bengurion glossy sets mixed in. Its one of my favorite themes.:smile2:

I sent Terry and Brad a couple of photos of my Relief of Chitral diorama with a polite request that one of them post them on this thread. The photos focus on the relieving forces but there are presently more than 40 Afghans and K&C Boxers fighting it out with the British forces.
