Dear All, I've been neglectful of the forum, so to make amends here's my latest update to my Hougoumont project. It's the biggest task I've undertaken and the area just soaks up troops. There are about 5,000 so far. Here's the link to my blog: generalpicton.blogspot.com
Hop you enjoy, more to come! |

The Germans know how to model – TOTS! Fantastic use of 1/72 plastics, great conversions from many eras, wonderful casualty figures. All hail! |

Das stimmt, aber ich bin Engländer! |

Thanks everyone. First I'm confused with the Germans, then with Tango qui est Francais. C'est la vie! |

Non, Pauvre vieux Tango is no Frenchman….. He is Argentinian |

I've been working on another French battalion, this time Airfix line infantry, mostly from the Waterloo Infantry set but with the Grenadiers converted from the artillery set. It takes quite a few sets to get this many marching figures. These are really the only figure that I like from this set – the rest look dwarfish. But of course, they come with the cardinal error of holding their musket in the wrong arm, but too bad, they create a fine site when together. The officers are a mix of Esci, Kennington, NewLine, Hinton Hunt and a few others. Six companies each of sixty, eight drummers, colour party of three, two pioneers (need more), and 25 officers – 400 total. I'm really grateful to Chris Dodson for some reinforcements to make this battalion complete. img]https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1cZICTyyUIA/XmyoIkv_mLI/AAAAAAAAFF8/6pGY2p7mu1ARe1betFPye-mxIZUC4Rm0QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_4734.JPG
