East of Mont St Jean

 I've been working on the area immediately East and Southeast of Mont St Jean.  This is the area where Ghigny's Light Cavalry brigade was located.  Only a few of the figures are on the model - these will follow in the coming days.

The modelling is based on the Siborne diorama, with pictures courtesy of the National Army Museum. A large ploughed field can be seen immediately East of the farm.

Using Google Earth looking North East with Mont St Jean in the top left.  Other buildings are modern. The real ground is much flatter than Siborne shows it - he had to exaggerate the relief to make it stand out.

This area will contain most of Ghigny's Brigade.
