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.

Old Collingwood Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share #1294 Posted August 10, 2021 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..........

Old Collingwood Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share #1302 Posted August 12, 2021 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. OC.

Ian B Posted August 16, 2021 Share #1312 Posted August 16, 2021 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.

Old Collingwood Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share #1317 Posted August 16, 2021 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. OC.
