15 mm Hussar

[Emperor]

Here it is a Polish winged hussar in smaller scale than 1 72, I guess it is 15 mm, not exactly sure, the palisade are made from tooth picks...

Impressive for such a tiny figure! What's the flag and flag pole made from?

[Emperor]

It is made out of bronze...Flag is out of sticky paper...

Come on please, tell us where you found the 6 feet diameter coin!

Very nice...

[Emperor]

@Stenfalk- It is 1 dinar 1915 Kingdom of Serbia coin(basic unit)... It was in possession of my grandfather who had some other coins like 1878 principality of Serbia coin, kingdom of Montenegro coin and some Franc Joseph of Austrian coins, he died in April of 2015 so the coins were left to me...

May your grandfather rest in peace! But with the coins you have a nice and lasting remembrance of him. And as seen you can link them wonderfully to your work...

Nice model. Who makes that pretty miniature?

[Emperor]

@senfalk- I also filmed him a couple of time when he talked some stuff when he was alive, he made a few anthological and hilarious statements...He was rather a theatrical character since he was professor for 40 years he liked to speak loud and in dramatically manner...He looked much like Charlie Sheen when he was younger...He also played roman legionary in some old movie, think it was Hanibal...I have a photo of him in Roman armor...

[Emperor]

I also forgot to mention that he was lucky...Back in 1943 when he was a boy, he and his friends played on place where was a battle...He was stupid enough to get convinced to play with a hand grenade that exploded in his left hand...But he was lucky there was a field hospital near town of Prijepolje...His mother brought him there and German military surgeon operated his hand and save his life... I said once to him you experienced, you survived, and you outlived it...
