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.
