The Waterloo Diorama in Celle. Only the first words are in German. So for our english reading visitors the report is in english.
Many thanks to my team. Without such super buddys an exhibition like this is not possible !!

That is just superb – very well done :) |

Wow is the only word for it, although very impressive will also do. They should consider an illustrated book on the project. |

Simply an extraordinary diorama! This is the best Napoleonic display that I have ever seen. Superb photos with good descriptions of the progress. Wow! Many thanks for sharing this. |

Is this a temporary or permanent exhibition?
So many excellent details – I particularly like the French voltigeurs cutting paths through the fields. |

Thanks for the comments.
No itīs not permanent. It ended on 11th Oktober. We asked different places (museums) to create a permanent exhibition, but after 200th anniversary there was no interest. So the diorama was removed and the figures and buildings are on sale. |

What a shame. How history fades these days. Looked good though |

What a pity there are no close up pics. The units look enormous and I bet they look wonderful but from this distance they may as well be 6mm! Is there any eye candy anywhere for a 28mm fanatic like me?! |
| jensutkremp | 25 Oct 2015 12:13 p.m. PST |
Here pictures in my gallery.
Some close upīs there link |

Wow, Jensutkremp – amazing! And bookmarked! That's a lot of figs – is that one massive collection or do they belong to lots of different people? Either way, it's incredibly impressive! Very inspirational. |

Hi, On sunday the second article will be online.
Waterloo Celle 2015 – The picture report.
There will be a lot of pictures of the diorama. |
| Lord Hill | 28 Oct 2015 5:38 p.m. PST |
I can't imagine how much time and money had been spent on those figures – I can see at least £250.00 GBP's worth of Rifles alone! What's the total? £15,000.00 GBP? More? You must have paid for the Perrys' trips to New Zealand several times over! |

They apparently sell the miniatures now. Might be a good time to score some affordable painted battalions. :--) |

So sorry to have missed this in person – superb inspiration.
Thank you for posting such a complete retrospective of the diorama and exhibition.
Such a pity there are no museum takers for this amazing work! |

HUGE pity that this is gone…What an epic work of art and crafstmanship and history. |
| Baranovich | 21 Jul 2016 7:41 a.m. PST |
