Thank you so much for your input and looking into this for me brother, I have to be honest I was not aware that the 13e was involved in the attack on LHS - was this a separate - (later) attack after the first 54th - 55th ligne attacks on the farm? I know history states that both the 54th and 55th made the first attacks on the arm and re tried a few times after, but later in the day Ney took personal responsibility for the attack LHS. The farm stayed intact till late in the day after receiving different units of support including the 5th KGL Line (Red costs) they where all involved in defending the farm and rear kitchen garden - I understand, and some Luneberge also made it into the garden to fight or take shelter. Its all down to account records I guess. OC. -
I have re done Two of my older pics - they where taken without direct illumination just a small torch to get some shadows. OC.

Thank you kindly brother, it is the history of the battalions Lieutenant Colonel that I am very interested in as I would love to add him close to the farm around the kitchen garden as I believe some of the battalion who escaped the Cuirassiers ran there. OC.

I was doing some reading up on the fate of the Luneberg Battalion that met their fate at the swords of the French Cuirassiers when they marched down the slope in line formation to attack the 54th and 55th Ligne that was attacking LHS, I understand over 300 hundread tropps who was lead by a Leutenant Colonel marched down that day, the question I do not have the answr to despite much searching - was he killed in action or survived - did he take shelter in LHS - was he dis mounted or still on his horse? Will be interesting to find out as he could possibly be another addition to my build . OC.

Good evening all, well this has started again - I decided to have a go at re top coating all my figures (about 60) that have already been painted, but have retained some slight sheen to the paintwork, so I got my bottle of Lucky Ultra Matt and (((Shook))) the living daylights out of it, then using my largest best brush I carefully brushed over them with a thin smooth application - I have done about Ten at a go and think the finish is better. I will take some pics when they are all done so I can do a group photo.. OC.

Hi there all, I decided to have another mess about with my photo files - so in my Lightroom I cropped a few then lifted the light levels added some contrast - Black levels - Colour and reduced the High lights then I sent them into my Topaz de noise before saving back into Lightroom where they had some selective sharpening and saved back into my files. Hope you enjoy. OC.
