I have some progress to report with my project to produce the North-East part of the Waterloo battlefield:
First, an overview of La Haye Farm:
Farm interior:
Nassau Grenadier company. The bases are not yet disguised.
The track joins need further work to hide them:
The garrison is a Nassau battalion. The French attackers will follow.
Further east from La Haye is the hamlet of Smohain. First what is now the Trois Canards restaurant:
These buildings will have a curved wall and gate entering into a courtyard:
Overall view of the village with the school house (sic?) in the foreground:
These two buildings look today much s they would have in 1815:
There are various smaller buildings in the hamlet including this shed:
Many buildings have been modernised to the point that they are now unrecognisable, and some have been built from scratch. This building is in homage to the Belgian vernacular of 1815 from original photos:
This complex can still be seen today:
All buildings are by my father and the Nassau battalion is expertly painted by David. Many thanks to both!
