More from the Crossroads


With the weather breaking and me going back to work, I dismantled the model and took it into my shed section by section.  This allows some close-ups but don't be confused by the proximity of other sections.  Here are some more shots showing progress over the weekend:


The garden at La Haye Sainte




Scene on the road

West Barn




Interior of the farm

95th line the hedge







Siborne shows this barricade with greenery, presumably cut from the orchard.








32nd Cornwalls



Cameron Highlanders



Inniskillings


Glosters

Sandpit 















Elite light infantry advance north along the chaussee.



The orchard


















And finally here are some shots of the Siborne model along with other source material. Of course Siborne shows the scene at the time of D'Erlon's attack while I am showing the moment that the French break into La Haye Sainte.

  2. Hi James, I have a shed in which each section sits with its own box lid. Works pretty well!
