popeye the sailor reacted to Old Collingwood in Battle of Waterloo Attack on La Haye Sainte Farm by Old Collingwood - 1/56 (28mm)
The history behind my latest post is - during the attacks by the 54th and 55th the Battlion's had different ranks of officers upto a Colonel who was with the regiment leading them, he was on his horse during the attacks, also the regiments had a few Grenadier Sappers who tried to attack the gates at the front of the farm but were shot at by the 2nd KGL hiding over the wall.

Two other additions I will add that I have in my stash is - a Mounted French 54th ligne Colonel overseeing the attack on the Farm, and a 54th Grenadier Sapper who will be placed dead with his Axe close to the main gates.

A quick search of YouTube has lots of 18th century battle sounds, drums ,guns and bugles.
Wether you could have one on a repeat loop, but I have no idea as how to do that. One of the many followers may be of more help.

Are you going to put a soundtrack to it? Popping muskets, rifle cracks, drums, bugles and such😊😉😇

Thank you kindly Mark, I hope to build it so there is different pockets of action going on in the different parts of the dio, that kind of tell a story.

Thank you Andrew, so far I think I have made about Sixty 2nd and 5th KGL in and around the farm complex, I have about another Fifteen I can make, then there will be my Three Cuirassiers about Fifty or so French 54th and 55th ligne will be made (but may try to add some more if I have the space) and I will add a British Hussar or Two and my Five resin 5th KGL wounded.
Will keep adding them till there is no more space.

Just on a side note - the invasion of Belgium started today when Napoleon crossed the border with his troops leading to the different battlles leading up to Waterloo on the 18th June.

It's hard to do an action pose of wounded and dying people the fact that you can get the "moment" in realistic form is a testament to your modeling skills & ability brother... That's something I couldn't do, not in a million years...

Evening all, some more progress today - firstly I had an error to rectify after doing more reserch - my Tirailleurs that I had made where not part of the attack on LHS they were sent in to deffend Pappolette Farm against the Prussians, the biggest difference is the different Shakos with extra brass braids and Higher plumes, so I decided a little surgery was needed "off with there heads" I was able to swap them over for the correct heads.
I also made up some more 54th/55th including another injured fello.

Thanks Ken, there are no plastic pre-moulded figures in the kit ranges - to show injured, so a little bit of interpretation is required (and heat)

Evening all, I have started on another group of 54th/55th Ligne figures including one who is shot, how I achieved his pose was to use the hairdryer and soften the plastic enough to be able to bend the torso, then I worked on his arms and bent his head back a bit.
