Looking at those displays reminds me that in Christchurch here there was a guy who owned (used to own) a Roman army entirely of figures from the Asterix the Gaul range.
ReplyDeleteAside from that, I am a little surprised that there isn't a display of the fall of Constantinople (1453) or maybe the siege of Rhodes by Suleiman the Magnificent. The variety of subjects is fine, though, and I like the simplicity of the layouts.
