A pleasure.
Very very fond (grant...) of this story.
My favourite piece is a siege gun made of solid brass that unscrews!
Local engineering works made it for me....
May be a 'bit' obsessed? ;D

The figures and the terrain are amazing, but the thing that really sets this project above and beyond for me is the way your vignettes manage to tell such vivid stories. The last stand in the chapel and that knight in the chair are emotionally stirring moments. Really well done.

As an aside, any of you that are having problems finding a way to post images to the forum should try pinterest. Free, easy and it's also a great way to find new ideas.

Amazing stuff!
Can produce an endless series of dioramatic pics narrating the whole story of the siege!
