I met a guy at Easter dinner, who's the father in law of my brother in laws nephew.

Or the father of the wife of my sister's brother in laws son.

Anyway, nice fellow about my age, of Albanian descent.

He told me that his father (he was the youngest of ten) was in the Ottoman Army in World War 1. I was kind of astounded, a first for me.

 

Albania was part of the Ottoman empire until the Balkan wars of 1912-13 so that would make sense. Very interesting. Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece ganged up on Turkey and took almost all of their European territory. 

The ultimate resource for 1/72 figures is plasticsoldierreview.com. It's great. They break it down for every manufacturer and kit. You have to check it out.

You've got no small amount of talent shown here. This is well done and you did a great job of those figures. I like their poses too. The only things I can see that I would have done differently is that I would have drilled out the barrel of the arty piece and cleaned up the seams of the figs more. That's it. You've done a very good job with the painting!

Your subject and composition are good and it is rare to see this topic modelled.

Well done!  :)

 Thanks Brindos

The problem is the plastic that HAT uses. It's so soft a file just turns it into a stringy mess and a blade slices right through if you make one false move so I decided not to fight that battle. It does look a little unsightly in the photos I admit.

Oh man, I hate that type of plastic. I've shied away from it years ago, but for those poses in this scale, well I might have taken exception to it, same as you. :)

God bles your eyes. I have problems painting 1/35 never mind 1/72.  great job

Yes very nice work! I like the composition and 1/72nd aren't easy to paint but you did a great job.
