I've added another 120 figures to the Mont St Jean section of the diorama and decided that is enough. I'm pleased with the results and think it now gives a good impression of how congested and horrific the Allied field hospital must have been at the height of the fighting.

| Burial pits |

| French prisoners |

| Don't like the join in the road, but this can be covered with a judicious bit of battlefield litter or a figure |

| Bit more work needed to tidy up the archway stone work |

| The Imex Mexicans - the Morecambe and Wise of 1/72 |
This looks so impressive in the photos, it must be outstanding to view with ya eyes. To take it all in. To ponder. To 'transport' one to the 18th June 1815 and days the immediately following.
ReplyDeleteYou should be satisfied and pleased with what you have produced and the figures that you and your partner painters have tirelessly painted, along with those sensational buildings that your father constructed!
It is amazing that this is but one small part of an enormous whole.

I echo James' comments above - if this was a stand alone diorama it would be sensational but the fact that you are constructing the whole battle in this level of detail is mind boggling!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you James and Stryker. I've really enjoyed the conversions aspect of this section. It is satisfying to take a figure designed for a very different purpose and era and make them fit this scene.
