What I love about this build - it hits on a subject that I love as I always loved castles, when I was a a kid my dad took me to see a English Civil War reinactment battle at a castle - I was completely stunned by it all. I always wanted to build a dio of what I saw in the flesh - but I never saw a kit of the castle. This is a video of the event and castle I went to - https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Warwick+Castle+siege&t=ffab&iar=videos&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8ew_dIUGegQ OC. -

Thats a toough job to pull off Alan as i know it falls to the security of the case (as I read in other resin ship/sub dio's) as you know I have my Flyhawk Hood on hold that I plan to make her in the sinking role dio. OC.

Evening all, I have been doing more research earlier and discovered something - the British Hussars where not closely connected to any action near LHS these should have been the Light Cavalry in the shape of the 2nd Life Guards who charged on the West side (Road side) of LHS so this is something I will have to look at latter.

They are glued down using Super Glue and all the other fittings/scenery are glued down - hopefully making a permanent base etc - mind you hope it never needs moving. OC.

I used to have a hobby with beer - making it home brew was awsome yummy. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark, I thnk the shadows and loss of light add some depth - wait till I Start to populate it even more includiing the Trees in the orchard - that will be interesting as I need to put the base on my table and there sin't much room left - still some time off yet though as I need to finish my few figures than get my airbrush going to flat coat them all. OC.

Thank you kindly Alan, it also ties in with acess to orchard would have needed a door and there was talk in written files about the 2nd KGL rushing through it and through the Barn, when over powered by the French. OC.

I thnk I have about 120 figures made , I have the case already here it is - OC.

Thank you kindly Harry, I have placed a handful of figures shown in some of my earlier pics, the dio base is 36Inches by 24inches. OC.

Evening all, - doors fitted, excuse the lighting the dio is on my unit behind the bench and not light on there except for the light on my optovisor. OC.

Thank you kindly Ken. OC.

So next job will be to reach into my dio and fit the doors - then I will carry on with my figures - still not sure if I should add more 5th KGL (Red jackets) as in fairness there was far less of these as only One squadron was sent down compared to Four-Five of the Green jacket 1st and 2nd KGL Light. OC.

Thank you so much Gary. OC.

Looking Great It will look Superb and be such a focal point when finished - hope you have a tiny pointing trowel and will be pointing correctly😊 OC

Thank you kindly Alan, I am quite pleased with them. OC.

Thank you kindly. OC.

Evening all, doors - Frames painted and dusted - so I'm calling them done, still needs gluing in place. OC.
-
Cracking little builds there - certainly adding to your extensive collection. OC.

Evening all, no actual movement (I have been lazy lol) I have let my doors level as the paper was curving upwards due to the paint, so I have some weight on them to get them flat again, and the Cuirassiers are just chilling waiting for the washes, and a couple more French are waiting for more paint. I have some odds and sods that I could try to make up - some 5th KGL (Red Jackets) and some bits of equipent - backpacks, Shakos, Rifles etc that I will make up to be scattered on the ground in various areas .
