Urban sprawl

 The weather has been changeable in the last few days so it has been hard to get the model outside for any length of time.

But when it has been sunny, it has been great so I have seized my moments.  You won't notice many changes, but there were so many snags to rectify it has taken quite a long time.

Because my time was short, I couldn't manage differences in table height and the uneven ground, so it does look a little lumpy.

The garden at Frischermont has had a little more attention


The courtyard at La Haye

There aren't many French on the model yet, only a few casualties

Looking North



New section joining La Haye to Smohain.  The grass needs to be melded in to disguise the obvious contrast

The full length of this section of the model is now nearly seven metres



The track to the school house is at an early stage of development.


Once the scenery is complete, the figures will start to be placed, showing Durutte's division defending against the Prussians and attacking the 28th Orange Nassau regiment in Smohain.


The model will show Ziethen's Corps advancing from Wavre


These are Hinton Hunt - there will be around 600 of this battalion
