Dear Planeteers!

Spring is still waiting to come, so I start my next Project on my workbench!

[IMG]

1. Day, March 12, 2018

As most of you probably know, this is my favorite painting...:

[IMG]

[IMG]

It's name is "The Zaporozhian Cossacks write a letter to the Turkish Sultan" and it was painted by Ilya Tefimovich Repin ..:

[IMG]


Repin has been working on his Cossack project for more than 20 years. If one deals with the history of this picture in detail, one finds surprisingly many versions of the painter.

At first he drew a few dozen sketches ...:

[IMG]

[IMG]

[IMG]


This was followed by a preliminary study, which can be seen in Minsk (Belarus) at the National Museum ...:

[IMG]

In 1896 Repin painted a similar Varaiante 1.74 x 2.65 meters from the painting, which can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts in Charkiv/Ukraine (formerly Charkov) ...:

[IMG]


And finally, the final version of the picture (1890-1891), 3.58 x 2.03 meters tall. As Tsar Aleksandr. III. Buy it for 35,500 gold rubles, it was the most expensive picture of its time. It hangs today in the Pushkin Museum in Saint Petersburg ...:

There is - also from Repin's hand - a very accurate scaled down version of this great original. This image was bought by Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III before the First World War. Baroda for the museum he founded. It is still there today in Gujarat, India ...:

[IMG]


The picture shows a historical scene ...:


In the early autumn of 1676, the Turkish sultan Mehmed IV.

[IMG]

...wrote the following letter to the Zaporozhian Cossacks:
"I, Sultan and Lord of the High Door, son of Muhammad, brother of the Sun and the Moon, grandson and governor of God on earth, ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, great and little Egypt, king of kings, lord of lords, incomparable knight, invincible commander, hope and consolation of the Muslims, terror and great protector of the Christians, command you to give up Zaporozhian Cossacks voluntarily and without any resistance and to no longer disturb my empire by your raids.Sultan Mehmed IV "
What had annoyed the Sultan so much was that during the first Ottoman-Russian war (1676-1681), the Cossacks used the opportunity to plunder the rich and rich Crimean peninsula that was part of the Ottoman Empire.
And not only that!

The Cossacks had also the impudence to defeat a hastily enlisted Ottoman army on the lower reaches of the Dnieper destroyed.

The Zaporozhian Cossacks did not hesitate long in answering the Sultan. It has been preserved and one of the most beautiful pieces of obscene literature that we know.

Her answer letter was:

"You Turkish devil, brother and comrade of the cursed devil and Lucifer's incarnate secretary! What a knight are you to hell if you can not even kill a hedgehog with your bare ass? What the devil craves eats your army We will not have any sons of Christ under your charge, we will not fear your army, we will fight with you on land and water, your mother will be fucked!


Babylonian kitchen-boy, wheel-maker of Macedonia, goat-shepherd of Alexandria, brewers of Jerusalem, suckers of great and little Egypt, pig of Armenia, tartar goat, criminals of Podolia, hangman of Kamenetz and fool of the whole world and underworld, besides our God's fool , Grandson of the devil of Satan and the hook of our cock. Pig-eating, mare's ass, butcher's dog, unbaptized forehead, fucked be your mother!


So the Zaporozhians answered you, Glatzkop! You are not even fit to guard Christian pigs. Now we have to break up. We do not know the date because we do not have a calendar. The moon is in heaven, the year is in the book and we have the same day as you. So kiss our butt!


Signed: The camp ataman Ivan Sirko together with the whole camp of the Zaporozhian Cossacks. "

So far the story of the letter told in the painting.

Afternoon folks
Looking to add a few dandelion plants to some groundwork (54mm) I know that some are available in Australia, but the postage is rather more than I'd like to pay so does anyone have a UK source or way of making them realistically?

Playing with this piece from my GA. Taking a break from Franz Dorning, he is so bloody heavy he was making my arm ache. I am sure members will recognise the piece. Second part to follow. Painted with Castle acrylics and some Andrea inks. Comments good or bad appreciated.

Need set of 120mm hands

I am in a bind...I found that I am lacking the right hand on 120mm Verlinden Apache kit. It is a kit done back in around early to mid 2000. This kit is of an Apache standing flat foot, holding a Springfield Carbine n close to his body. I have turned my house upside down and then some, but I can't find the right hand. I have the left hand which is cradling the carbine, but lack the right hand which is gripping the carbine, index finger on trigger, and thumb on hammer of Springfield.

I would appreciate direction on how to remedy this situation. I am not a sculptor. I would love to get this kit assembled and primed if someone can help me out here. I sure could use a set of 120mm hands suitable for holding a carbine. I'm willing to compensate anyone who can help me out here please? Does anyone do 120mm hands suitable for holding a carbine? Or have a set of the 120mm Verlinden hands that I could purchase please?

Hey guys,

This is on my workbench now, Life's Miniatures Rommel Bust.

[IMG]

This work will get some product reviews for the Michigan Toy Soldier Blog later on, but I wanted to show some WIP also. The kit itself is amazing as you would expect from Life Min.

I've just primed the bust with Mission Models Black Primer :

[IMG]

Now went for Leather, using Vallejo and Abteilung's 502 oils. After the first step is dry, will work on light and shadows for the coat.

Any comments are welcome :)

This is my next attempt at a smaller bust,from Fer range. No assembly,just drilling and pegging to the base.The guy certainly had a gaunt look in real life. The complication in painting is the striping on the body robe,if I stick to the boxart.Also many folds to show on the head dress fabric.....
Face completed.......
