Looking on to the burnt chateau. The figures are Strelets, Airfix and Hagen |
Looking north |
The dovecote has been taken away to be re-worked |
Voltigeurs attack through the orchard, Scots Guards to their front, Coldstream behind the wall on their flank. |
The berceau |
French wounded head south through the east end of the wood. |
The north gate |
Looking west |
Voltigeurs make their way across the killing zone |
The east wall looking west |
Nassau grenadiers defend the south wall |
The orchard |
The general view is that the Coldstream left their Colours on the ridge, so I better move them! |
The main fight |
Light Company move through the chateau |
The chapel - I need to put a cross on the spire |
Ambulances ferry away the wounded. |
Cantiniere |
The track running north-south through the wood. |
Balustrade |
Dead and wounded - I'm running out! |

Looking east |
Looking north through the wood - some of the heaviest fighting took place along this track. |
I'm pleased with the atmospheric effect behind the trees |
More French in the orchard |
North gate |
It must have taken some work managing this garden! |
Making this model has helped me understand why it was so hard to get across this wall |
The east side of the chateau |
Detail at north gate |
Inside the north gate |
At the corner of the Gardener's House |
West side of barn, invisible to the British. |
Masterful execution of the modeler's art so far. I could look at this all day.

Amazing stuff and great photos too!
ReplyDeleteWow! Simply fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour updates never cease to amaze me! These photographs have given me a better understanding of what happened there and how the lay of the land was than the umpteen books I have read about it (and the numerous visits of the site!). Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThis is... magnificent.
ReplyDeleteIt looks even better with all those figures added and so well photographed too, as has been said by others above.
