This sounds suspiciously like there will be pictures of British and Prussians thrashing each other about in your astonishing terrain collection.

Now, that is a prospect to look forward to!

I´d love to see the New York Marxist Commune sending over a steam/clockwork powered expeditionary force.

That palace is frickin´ amazing.

Er, isn't that the Prime Minister's job? Has there been an ultra-Monarchist coup d'etat, as well as all this other business?  :)

Great scene. I love the big building.

Love the John Brown Conversion. Wish that I had thought of him.

What an amazing building! I am very impressed. Is that Brigadier General Flashman at her left hand? I don't think that he was overly fond of Chancelor Bismark....

fabulous scenery :love:
I also like the well armed highlander protecting  Her Majesty.  "Mr Brown" I presume.

Maybe HM and Gladstone has had another of their little tiffs and the PM is sulking somewhere.

Fantabulous! Perhaps the Queen declared war whilst Gladstone was too busy dealing with a prostitute.
