I've now just about finished the Mont St Jean section of my Waterloo diorama by adding another 120 figures. Hope you enjoy the results:
Outside the east gate:
Burial pits:
French prisoners:
I'm reasonably pleased with the brick and mortar effect:
The ground hasn't completely dried out so the white halo effect will go:
Close ups:
Don't like the join in the road:
French prisoners looking doleful:
Dead horses dragged to burial pit:
Side gate:
More on my blog here: generalpicton.blogspot.com Next, I'm going to complete two French battalions assaulting La Haye Sainte. |

This is so awesome, don't know if any model will beat it. |

Very impressive. We often forget just how many people were in a relatively small area at Waterloo. Everywhere must have been very busy. |

A simply stupendous amount of work here – so impressive. If you will excuse the cheek, I would make a suggestion about the informal figure groupings such as the prisoners or the hospital. People naturally cluster very close so an even spacing of figures can look a little unnatural. I would put those who are in some way 'together' closer so you get a collection of small knots of figures with the odd indvividual passing by.
Just a suggestion and I apologise if I have caused any offence. |

No offence at all Billy, I will thicken up the prisoners as I paint more. I think the casualties in the hospital would be spaced for the obvious medical reason that if they are wounded and not dead, some space would probably be needed! |

WOWZA! Sorta reminds me of the morning after my first frat kegger…even with the horse. |

Reminds me of a big-city casualty (Emergency) department in the UK, when two local teams were playing a late kick off, when the pubs had already opened early. Trust me, I have been there. Not Glasgow I do admit, not Liverpool, but even central London could be lively (luckily many a unit to take the demand). The Surgical Casualty Occifer was a demanding job. The Medical version took to his pit as I recall and slept the night away, as no medical patient dared enter. Kids these days…eeeh |
