ThunderWarrior Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Hello! I'm happy to present you MOC about russian history! Assembly is a ball of the nobility. Introduced by Peter the Great (emperor of Russia) as a form of meeting in higher society, following the European model. Reigned relaxed atmosphere: either meet or see anyone not required. Guests can play chess, checkers, but mostly amusement considered dances that were to bring together young people, to acquaint women with men. At first the dances were considered extremely immoral entertainment. The participants sat in a silent, shy of each other. All rested on the king, his will, the ability to organize a meeting, came to stir. And if not for Peter, the Assembly did not come into the tradition. In the evenings there was full equality: everyone could be invited to dance, even the empress and her daughters. Tsar Peter and empress Catherine. Prince Alexander Menshikov (statesman and highly appreciated associate and friend of Tsar Peter the Great). Piano player. Thanks for watching! Edited July 2, 2016 by ThunderWarrior Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Great scene, I really like the piano design. I think the tsar's face is a little out of context with the rest of the build- no ones mouth actually looks like that. Quote
ThunderWarrior Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Hehe... I used this this head with an ulterior motive. Strangely enough this head looks like original Peter I (this photo from old film “Peter I” (1937)): Edited July 4, 2016 by ThunderWarrior Quote
TitusV Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 I LOVE that piano! The rest is nice as well, but that piano... Quote
