1914
June 28, 1914 - Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife, visit Sarajevo in Bosnia. A bomb is thrown at their auto but misses. Undaunted, they continue their visit only to be shot and killed a short time later by a lone assassin. Believing the assassin to be a Serbian nationalist, the Austrians target their anger toward Serbia.
July 23, 1914 - Austria-Hungary, with the backing of Germany, delivers an ultimatum to Serbia. The Serbs propose arbitration as a way to resolve dispute, but also begin mobilization of their troops.
July 25, 1914 - Austria-Hungary severs diplomatic ties with Serbia and begins to mobilize its troops.
July 26, 1914 - Britain attempts to organize a political conference among the major European powers to resolve the dispute between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. France and Italy agree to participate. Russia then agrees, but Germany refuses.
July 28, 1914 - The Austro-Hungarian Empire declares war on Serbia.
July 29, 1914 - Britain calls for international mediation to resolve the worsening crisis. Russia urges German restraint, but the Russians begin partial troop mobilization as a precaution. The Germans then warn Russia on its mobilization and begin to mobilize themselves.
July 30, 1914 - Austrian warships bombard Belgrade, capital of Serbia.
July 31, 1914 - Reacting to the Austrian attack on Serbia, Russia begins full mobilization of its troops. Germany demands that it stop.
August 1, 1914 - Germany declares war on Russia. France and Belgium begin full mobilization.
August 3, 1914 - Germany declares war on France, and invades neutral Belgium. Britain then sends an ultimatum, rejected by the Germans, to withdraw from Belgium.
August 4, 1914 - Great Britain declares war on Germany. The declaration is binding on all Dominions within the British Empire including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa.

What a disappointment! I won't waste my time taking a picture of the sprues. The gun sprue contains just 12 pieces. The dog wouldn't even bother trying to chew the three awful figures!
Suffice to write, its back to the drawing board I go......

Hi guys
Here is my contribution to this GB - sculpting a bust of TE Lawrence.
A moment ft madness, the Hardy VC bust took a number of versions of heads to get near right so I must be a glutton for punishment trying a portrait bust so soon. I think I will opt for a combination of Arab headress over a military jacket, but first I have to get the head right.View attachment 309863

Peter what an excellent choice. :thumb2:
Peter, that is an iconic image if I ever saw one, great choice of subject that I’m sure you’ll do justice...
Afternoon all,
Steven, nice looking resin kit.:thumb2:
Paul, good luck with the rigging:smiling:, Ushi van der Rosten has the best wire IMHO, Ammo has the same wire in smaller packs if you aren't going to use it much:smiling4:: https://www.migjimenez.com/en/busca...esc&search_query=rigging&submit_search=Search
Peter, excellent choice indeed, looking forward to it develop.:thumb2:

The Logenze decals are the challenge for me to tackle, if all goes swiftly I have some more in the stash to add.
This GB is a great way to get those built up.:smiling:
