Absolutely love it , great job George.
I daydream about doing something like this in 60mm, but I don't think it will ever happen for a ton of reasons. It really is fantastic to see such a diorama and on such a GRAND scale. The variety of units you've built is really impressive. Is that Bavarian Cuirassiers I see? A Dream unit of mine to see made in my scale, boy that would be something.
Sure everyone taking part in this tread or just looking in is thrilled to see pictures of your labor of love. It really looks GREAT :salute:::salute:::salute::. All the best Gebhard

Really great set ups George.That Massimo Costas has really put out a lot of French for this period.Do you have any Austrians? The guys in Europe really are in the 1/72 size as they like to set up massive battles.Anybody gets a chance check out their blog they have some great dioramas. http://historyin172.blogspot.com/

Man, how can anyone not like these set ups. George if you ever get locked in the basement you won't be bored.
Seriously nice..
I have little interest in the Franco/Prussian war but these figs make me want to buy them and learn more about it.

Well not to beat a dead horse, but that in part is what got me hooked on the period, paintings from Detaille and Neuville as well as Knotel and Roschling (sp?) really inspired me.
The defense of the cemetery at Gravelotte St Privat and the panorama of Rezonville are my two favorites, there are dozens more.
Would love to see a current artist like Keith Rocco or Don Troiani take a crack at the subject...……………….
I agree. I would love to read more of the military history of the conflict. Unfortunately, I am headed back to a class room of kids starting on the 12th of August.
But Bismarck poured salt in the wound by taking Alsace Lorraine from France. France thus wanted revanche, (revenge).
I have been teaching AP European History for 14 years, so i could not resist the comment. Thanks for the observation.
