It looks great. Very natural weathering. What a recovery!

I think its a required skill to be able to recover from the unexpected.

Thank you Alan  -  means a lot mate.

Definitely a happy accident, OC. I like the brownish staining. It looks very good for the stable area.

Thanks Ken,   I am going by the assumption that the stables would have been quite mucky  not just from normal use  - horses etc,  but also due to the torrential rain during the night nmaking everywhere really dirty looking.

I'm glad you recovered OC.   Accidents can really blow a project but you've done a great recovery.

Right then - here is the Full story of how I am displaying my dio  -

 

During the night the 2nd KGL  and  the KGL engineers spent the night trying to  make any defences  at LHS as possible, the weather was terrible  torrential rain and muddy water logged conditions everywhere.

So the engineers decided to take down both sets of  doors  (on the barn and end of the passage)  the barn ones where set on fire  to make a camp fire, also at this time all live stock was killed for meat.  During the following morning the engineers left only after re fitting the passageway doors  but the barn was left exposed with no door,   the 2nd KGL  had to make ready what ever defences they could  - Major Barring (the regiments leader)  instructed them to use what ever they could find for firing tables - yep they used the Kitchen one and any other food frames they could make, they also stabbed at the bricks with their bayonets to make firing holes in the walls nearest the roadway.

The also made a  temp defence blocking the roadway with the farms karts and any branches and other wood they could find (they would initially use this defence to fire from).

Major Barring  placed  his men  outside in the orchard, manning the  defence in the roadway  and  in the  rear kitchen garden.

 

The first attack happened around 1pm  with  skirmishes and the bulk of the the 54th and 55th  ligne regiments, the KGL made a good show of themselves and  shot a lot of the attacking French, at the same time the KGL's  Von Allen  sent down the hill from the combined British side 10 companies of Light KGL to repel the French, no sooner than they had reached the farm  and joined by  many of the KGL at the farm, a troop of Cuirassiers  appeared from no where and decimated Von Allens companies, most where slaughtered where they stood as they had no time to form squares, some including many from the farm  got inside the safety of the farm, but the rest tried to reach the ranks on the British side and where sliced up by the French.

The British repulsed this by sending down a  troop of British Cavalry  - this made both the French 54th/55th and the Cuirassiers  turn back up the hill towards the French Line.  Major Barring  sent a request for more ammunition as his men  had only been issued 60 bullets per man with no spares,  his request saw reinforcements in the shape of  - Two companies of  1st KGL  and One company of 5th Line KGL, this bolstered his men at the farm to about 500 men.

Around 2:30-3:00pm  a French Cuirassier  road down the hill close to the defence in the road (that was now in bits from the French advance)  he stood up in his saddle cried out  "viv la France"  turned around and  went back  - the defenders did not shoot as they did not know his intentions or if he was a deserter.

The next attack happened  soon after - same attack motion  of both sides of the farm,  but this time led by  Marshall Ney on his horse,  many again  where shot down by the farms defenders but the numbers of attacking French was becoming difficult to  hold.   But just when the situation was looking so bleak  Lord Uxbridge released his 15th Hussars to storm down the hill  and  force the French troops from the farms surroundings  - many French ran back up the hill to their ranks, some  tried to stay motionless  against the wall of the farm, but many where  sabred where they stood.

Some of the KGL  rushed out of the gate by the roadway to chase off the French  - trying not to get  road over by the Hussars.

 

 

This will be the stage in the battle I will try to  emulate with my dio  - with the 54th/55th ligne  a few  Cuirassiers  near the orchard,  Marshall Ney  retreating,   the 2nd and 5th  KGL  both inside the farm/outside near the kitchen garden  and  outside the main roadside gate, and a couple of  15th Hussars on the road side and near the garden.

 

Well that's the plane..........

Sounds like a good plan for the troop disposition, OC.    As for your face during the "ooo crap"...  I can well imagine as I've done that also.

Looks like a good time/spot to build the dio. The KGL rallying to repulse the French units. Waterloo was such a wide spread battle, one needs to focus on just one unit's actions.

The doors look great. The dust really adds depth to the timber and looks like honest farmyard muck. Does it stay in place on its own or do you have to seal it?

Thanks

Alan

The dust is from an acrylic paint that I just dry brushed on  - I think its has hard wearing as normal acrylic paint, but if I am feeling adventurous  - could try using my airbrush and gently  spray some flat coat over it  - keeping clear of my window glazing.

Evening all,   work on the Giant Barn has started  -  my normal routine  colour in the cement mortar in between the bricks, then after a light pass of my brush to pick out the bricks (this took Two coats)   then I decided to be a bit arty and pick out different bricks in different shades  (as in hindsight they would have been some  orthan bricks)   basically I just mixed in with the basic brick colour  - firstly a slightly lighter shade, then slightly darker  - then slightly more Red  - think it turned out ok?

 

Notice the missing barn door?   that the one the KGL engineers  burned the night before - leaving the barn exposed.

More spending again  - this dio better be worth it😵

 

So I have brought -

A  grass  mat, some tufts of grass, a  make it yourself hedge kit,  a box of British Centre Flank  figures (victrix)   and some more  figures for my 2nd KGL.

 

Might have to sell the admiral to pay for all this.

Thank you kindly Denis  - alas the floor and roof in the farmhouse is glued on, but don't worry there will be plenty of interest  with figures all over the place  - inlcuding a pile of dead blocking the rear barn door  - where they were  shot attempting to get into the barn.

Evening all,    more paint layers have now been layed down on the barn sections, I have also painted the inside wall along the side closest to the opening where the barn doors  should have been, as some of the inside will be visible whwn its assembled.

"Nah the chickens went the same way as the ducks and no doubt any other live stock"  the  engineers the night before had a  roast up of all they could find,     with the dead pile of French  I will  make them from my  stash.

Beautifully growing day by day. You are going to have a big investment in time when this is all finished, but there is so much you can do with it if you choose to go all the way. 

Do you envision landscape and all? Any livestock?

Thank you so much Craig,   yes  I  have some scenery  here and on the way - In the shape of some trees and  rough ground (the pre cast type)  also I have ordered a A4 sheet of different grass  heights  and one of those make it yourself hedges  (its made form course horse hair that you glue down and  add glue followed by sprinkled on Brown and Green foliage,   scenery making will be a first for me.

 

There was no livestock left mate  - they killed it all the night before the battle.

Hi, really enjoying this topic, super work. I thought Id share this unusual book-- it is on Amazon for almost nothing. A chap was commissioned to make a model of the whole battle 190,000 figures-- Wellington didn't like it as it showed he was being a bit economical with the truth about the Prussians and certain individual in his official dispatches-- The first few chapters are slow but the rest is a fascinating read.

Evening all,   work on the Barn continues  - I started  by painting the floor section a  stone colour, then it  had a rough wash  then some  dusting, this included part of  the ground in the courtyard that's attached to the Barn base,   I then fixed the wall section down to the base and secured it with a heated PVA around the inside wall/base joins.

It was then  time to touch up the interlocking sections and weather them to match the exhisiting  paintwork.

 

I then measured up and adjusted the roof as it should be joined to the stable block and not have a gap - this still needs more work.

 

The roof is just dry fitted for now  as each roof section will be painted  before joining together to make it easier to  brush paint.
