I've previously shown some of the 2nd Battalion 1st Voltigeurs of the Young Guard but now show the bulk of the battalion. As with all Guard battalions it is organised in four companies. The lead company is not yet complete and is shown in skirmish order up against the hedge. the other three companies are to the rear in column, just to the south of the prebendary on the slope up to the high road. The battalion is shown with tall plumes which may or may not have been the case at Waterloo, but I like the dash of colour. The figures are 90% conversions from the new Strelets Bavarians which I like very much. I think en masse they look very nice. Many people like all their figures in a mad dash of charging, firing and fighting. I think this is unhistorical and, especially in the circumstances of a diorama, should mostly be shown out of contact.
More on my blog at: generalpicton.blogspot.com Hope you like them! Still quite a lot of work to cover up bases and complete the lead company. Also, the sections of the diorama will be pulled tighter together. |

Very nice. Are they 1/72? |

Yes, all 1/72 mostly plastic Strelets with a few metal. |
