Liam has been hard at work on more carriages for the diorama. To remind you, Napoleon had 11 carriages at Waterloo and we can assume some of his commanders must have had some as well. I imagine that these were either at Le Caillou or Rossomme and that only some came forward to La Belle Alliance. We are therefore showing the bulk at Rossomme.
I've also been working on a few figures to pad out Larrey's field hospital at Rossomme. There is no evidence to suggest that it was as densely used as Mont St Jean for the allies, but I think there would still have been quite a few casualties present.

| No army went on campaign without its bridging train. But where was Napoleon's at Waterloo? My guess is at Genappe, but for the purposes of the diorama, it is on the road at Rossomme |

What a treat and feast for the eyes! Simply masterful.
