Here are some photos:
My diorama shows the battlefield at 1800 - by this stage the Chateau had burnt. |
It's been said my model doesn't show enough of the wood where much of the fight took place - well here it is. |
I've created this diagram of the formal garden |
And then marked it out on the diorama |
The view through the north gate |
You can see how large an area must be filled by the formal garden. |

I've made some of my trees from dead bonsai trees from a local bonsai club |
Wounded conversions |
The formal garden from the west looking east. |
The star at the east end of the formal garden. This was planted with ornamental trees and hedged . |
View down the killing zone. |
If you look carefully, there is a Classical statue at the centre of the star. based on this HYTTY figure. |
Fantastic model! Interesting seeing how large the wood is as of course this feature is not there today.
ReplyDeleteYes, a true museum piece. Really impressive work so far.

Only one word to describe this MAGNIFICENT! Going to look incredible once finished and fully populated with troops.
ReplyDeleteImpressive work, very good.
ReplyDeleteDoes your research show the trail leading back to La Belle Alliance as a 'sunken road'?
Each post even better than the last. This is superb. Well done again, again. Please keep 'em coming!
