The Village

After quite a bit of work, I present two completed sections of the Plancenoit diorama.  As yet, there is not a single figure positioned on the model, but they are in production.  The tricky bit will be working out how to place them given the relatively dynamic nature of the fight and the absence of firm evidence.  

I'd particularly like to thank my father who is the mastermind behind the buildings.  There are 23 buildings on this section, more than the rest of the diorama put together!

The road east from the church - the Prussian line of advance towards the camera.

The view south, this row of buildings would have formed an excellent line of defence.

The church with Thomas's amazing tombstones

Aerial view - this row of buildings was densely packed.

The view west as the Prussians would have seen it.

This set of buildings was one farm complex in the middle of the village

The open area around the church.  I need to put another set of steps up to the church, running south-north.
