The photos really capture the feeling of the moment

Thank you Alan,  I had  Two options  due to the  depth of field  -  focus on the  95th rifles  or the  French  3 feet away,  and  the  house window view  that  was  just  a bit  different.

Hi there  all,   a bit more  progress, I have  re done  the wall  extension  (well  turned it over and added a  small piece at the bottom)  its  been  painted  White  and waiting to dry.

I also  added some of my  resin water  in puddles  in the ruts  on the  road way  and against the wall  (waiting for  these to  harden and  go  transparent)

 

I  have also  placed  a  few more  figures  in the shape of  Four  2nd KGL   casualties  in the  orchard.

Morning all,  more pondering s  -  I decided  to  play around with  my  water gel  product that  I made my pond  with,  the  idea  was  that  the  wheel ruts  in the  road way  would  probably  still  had  small pools  of water   sitting in them, - so  (not thinking about colour)  I  brushed  in a  bit  into  a  few of the   wheel  ruts,  its  thick and  White at first  but  after  about  Ten hours  it hardens  clear.   The problem  is  it  just looks  like a  clear  line  not  a  slightly  coloured water  like it should  have been.

 

Its  got me thinking  if I could  do a  very thinned  dark  wash  all  over  the  base - roadway  etc  (Yep  includes  trying to  get in with a brush  around all  the figures)  -  then  if I could  go over  the top  later when the wash  has dried  thoroughly   with  my  dry brushed  sand  dust  colour as a  high light.

 

Yep  would  certainly be a  job and a half  -  but  it might  work to  blend  it all  in together.

 

What  do  you  think?

Or........perhaps  I could  ease out the  set  gel water, and  re  do  it  but using  coloured  water gel  -  with me  adding a  few drops  of wash  to the  mix  before  brushing it back in.

I could still  do the  dry brushing using  the  dust - sand  in areas  I can  reach.

Just as a  little teaser  -  I  have  placed my  Two  British Cavalry  figures   on the  roadway  just  in front of the  Two 95th rifles,  I will  take pics  of them  later.......

So  this side of my dio  is  getting close to being finished - I will  also add  some  loose left items  like  - muskets  -  backpacks - hats perhaps even a shoe or Two,  then I will  be turning the dio around  and starting to  work on the scenery  on the other side.

Thank you so much,      Lessons  about figure  painting  is  a  hard one,  think it  just  comes  down to  practice - practice  than more practice,  and  good  light  a  steady  hand  and  good magnification so you can see  tiny details  well.

After doing some  research  it looks  like  I need to  do a bit of scratchbuilding,  from some of the  photos  it  looks like  there  should have been  a  porch  building  on the  outside of the  farm house  around the  door  leading to the  garden,  I will  try to male one using  the photos like this  one, with  the  bits  of board  I  have to hand.

Morning all,   so  after doing some  reading  up  on the  interweb,  it  looks  like  I will  be  doing some  landscaping  in the  farmhouse garden,  as it appears  to  gradually  slope  upwards  from a  retaining wall close  to  the  house, I will  need  to  research  how  I am  going to  construct  my wall  and  build  the  gradient  that  my  grass mat  and  sprinkles  will  go  over  to  make  a  kind of kitchen garden  -  grass  and  beds  kind of thing.

 

Here  is  a  view  off the  net  from  about Ten years  ago  and  also  a drawing  from the  1900s.
