Canute Posted April 28 #2641 Posted April 28 Photos like these show the relationship of the terrain with the structures and vegetation. Maps included in the various histories are good, but being able to see the entire picture really helps to understand a battle. I've been fortunate to be able to walk a number of ACW battles, such as Gettysburg, Antietam and Richmond/Petersburg. These gave me a much better appreciation of events like Pickett's Charge, the Sunken Road and the Crater.

Old Collingwood Posted April 29 Author #2644 Posted April 29 Morning all, I have done a chack of things still to do - I still have the - Wall to build that goes in front of the patio I just put down. Extension to the wood store - side - front and roof, and raised up floor. Work on building a graduated slope where the kitchen garden is - using layers of typing paper. Fitting my Grass mat over this area. Make and fit the hedge that goes from the stables to my extreme Right, level with the stables. Purchase some more French 54th and 55th Line reg troops - paint weather - top coat then place these in the orchard. Put some odds and ends like loose hats - muskets - backpacks etc scattered around. Cut the French Cuirassiers off their bases and place the other side of the orchard hedge. Place my pile of French casualties at the entrance to the Barn. Finish off making my other single British Cavalry needs painting etc - then place him the other side of the garden hedge. Place the Lunebourg division remnants in the garden along with a few 5th line KGL wounded. Then make the trees and fit them in the courtyard. Any any other bits of touching up where needed. So yep quite a bit to do yet. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted April 30 Author #2649 Posted April 30 Evening all, bit more of an update - no pics as phone batt dead again, any way I have been cleaning up the extension to the wood store sanding it level with the existing part, I have also created a false floor to bring it up level with the raised ground (for when I start my ground works) I have also put a coat of PVA over it to lock the wood fibres in ready for painting.

Old Collingwood Posted May 5 Author #2659 Posted May 5 Morning all, so working forward - I have glued down the raised floor for the wood store (no real excitement as it will be mostly covered), but the next move is to work on the brick wall, I am making this a Belgium Grey wall (as it was going from local history and pics of the period) I have done a basic primer and stone Grey coat, next I will make a few different shades of Grey - Light - Dark - Sandy in a few pools in my wet pallet (flower pot drip plate) then randomly paint the bricks the different colours, after leaving to dry I will then add my dry brushing dust - leave to dry then after add a few dark washes.

Should work brother, but it's going to be heavy... I would recommend poster board for the contours, it's thicker and much lighter, and you can put holes in it under the uppermost layers to keep the weight down, then use your typing weight sheets with waters down PVA to give the final layer before doing the grass sheet.... One thing it does do is give you a good surface to mount figures and trees and the like to....
