"Charity Waterloo Model Exhibition at the NAM" Topic

Great to see this happening, congrats on all the progress!

A great effort leading to this worthwhile exhibit. I wish I could be there.

I've been watching "Captain Siborne's" posts here on TMP about the construction and populating of the exhibit. It was a tremendous undertaking and all of the creators should be very proud of what they've accomplished.

I only wish I lived on the east side of the "pond" and could come see it in person.

A friend of mine has been beavering away for months with his paintbrush producing some beautiful regts of Prussian Landwehr and artillery batteries, whilst sending me regular updates with photos of his progress and that of the project as a whole. It has been fascinating to see this all come together, the amount of figures is simply staggering.

I attended the evening preview yesterday which included a very informative talk by James Cowan on the pictorial sources they used to reconstruct the landscape and buildings. In that respect alone, it is a great project.

Waterloo Uncovered is a great charity and well worth supporting. Have a look at what they do.

There were some great personalities there too, amongst the attendees. Many who could claim ancestors on the field, including some of the most distinguished in 1815. The whole event was superbly run and a great credit to NAM, Waterloo Uncovered, not to mention Cowan Senior and Junior.

Just noticed that distinguished grey haired chap with the cute little blonde at the very bottom of the image. My three sons and wife ganged up on me and said "you are not going anywhere in those old suits of yours". I have to admit, they were hanging off me. That dark blue does look better.
