That would be quite the scene, yep they are awaiting their heads - I broke off for the night and will add them tomorrow. OC. -
Evening all, I have started Three more little fellows - a 10th Hussar, a 54th Ligne Sapper and a 54th Colonel. OC.
-
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. OC.
-
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. OC.
-
Thank you so much Alan. OC.
-
Evening all, I have been through all my moulds and made up the last Five French figures and another wondead one - they will receive the same as the other bunch. OC.
-
That would be an interesting video log of it when its done, don't know how it could be done though? OC.
-
Ratlines how I remember Ratlines - best advice just take your time and don't try to rush them. OC.

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. OC.
-
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. OC.

Evening all, next bunch of French started - primmed then hands/hands basic covering. OC.

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. OC.

I think you have done an amazing job brother and you are finding out the different adjustments as you move along - its a sign of commitment on your shoulders - Hats off to you brother - but also Thank you for all you do. I was thinking (what also made my Grey matter churn) was the resin figures I have been sent for my dio - the resin material is deffinatley Brittle It snaps away (sometines in the wrong place) is there no way of using a more pliable plastic based resin that is not as brittle with slightly more flex in it? sorry if its a Supid question - I dont know enough about how 3D resin works. OC.
-
Thank you brother, that is so nice of of you to say - its all a learning curve that we all go through. OC.
-
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. OC.
-
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) OC.
-
Found you brother, just read through your amazing work flow, I know I said it before - but its amazing what you are doing - takes certain skills to do both of these areas and you are excellent at both - keep it going brother. OC.

Would it be too late to buy a sheet of vaneer wood decking and lay that down? OC.

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. OC.
