Thank you kindly for all the likes. Erk.

Amazing work considering the scale, its a very interesting subject - I too am building a Dio of the attack on La Haye Sainte, but in 28mm Perry Minitures, I am planning to get the Wood farm building to work around. Erk.

And after a days work on it horse number Two is finished, this one is a dirty white colour with very muddy feet and legs. Erk.

Cuirassier number Two about to be started - the horses Two sections were glued together, then the rider had his sword arm attached and added his head, next will be a little tidy up followed by a Black primer. Erk.

Added a few more - Erk.

Very nice work. Erk.

More work on both the horses sadle/details and the cuirassier - it takes quite a while as there is a lot of painting to do in stages. Erk.

Having a go with the Perry Cuirassiers - starting with a horse in basic Brown and Black details. Erk.

Frenchman number one finished (before I place them on the dio - I will sand down the base the figure sits on to make it thinner) Erk.

A bit more progress - more stages of paintwork (doing it slowly as it is fiddly and takes a steady hand) this one (first of roughly 100) is finished minus painting his musket. Erk.

Thank you for looking in, yep 28mm I will be making a part dio by focusing on the front section of the farm with about 2/3rds of the courtyard showing and section of the road to the front, this way I will be able to show the KGL troops firing over the walls and through the rifle cut outs in the wall, a few of Sharps men who rushed down to add cover from the end of the wall, the French Line Infantry attacking and also a few cuirassiers. I have room for a disply about 3 feet by 3 feet. Erk.

Thank you so much, I was trying to make it look more real life. Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

I have started collecting figures to represent the attacks on the famous farm house, I intend to collect and paint some French Line Infantry, French Cuirassiers, KGL light and standard line troops, and not foregetting Sharps very own 95th, I will also collect one of the rather good farm builds sets and add anything to create a dio of the event. So I started with the French Line Infantry - I have been picking thease up in the single sprues so far and have primed a few ready for paint, they are quite fiddly but very pleasing once a bit of paint is on and some washes/high lighting. Here is my first minus painting his musket/feet and final touch up. Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

I have been working on this for some time as seperate projects, I finaly finished it yesterday. Erk. Thank you sincerely for looking.

Thank you Pappy, yep thats just what I did - I sat them both in a dab of CA, seems to have done the trick - Erk.

I too have just started building this - one glearing thing has come to me by reading this excellent build - on the front seam of the wing join behind the canopy, I always thought the gap either side of the center small square piece was a design fault (so I filled my mine with putty and sanded smooth) I didn't know they were to take the stubs of the two arials that dissapear under the canopy when it pushed back into its open position. Erk.

Excellent work, have some of these on the way Perry's 28mm. Erk.

Excellent work. Erk.

Excellent work, I too have this period as a major project for a Dio. Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

Spit IX is finished and displayed on my board with a few bits. Erk.

Hi all, I am at the starting stages of a Dio of the Attack of La Haye Sainte at Waterloo, I am using a mix of Perry and Victrix 28mm plastic figures, I have started with the French Line Infintry from a basic addition sprue to get a feel for how they go together. So far I have assembled a few had to alter the arms on a few to vary the rifle positions so filler was needed vallajo putty to be exact. So here is my start. Erk.

Just read through the whole post - excellent work. E.
