Good morning, another update on the diorama. Made some progress on the church yard this week. Built laser cut church pews from a kit to be used as barricades and firing steps on the church walls. Finished off some headstones for the church yard. Began working on the placement of the figures...
Just a quick update, started to work on the second part of the story. It involves the church and elements of the town of Plancenoit. I am working on the walls, cemetery and a number of buildings. The first challenge is the church was on an elevated piece of ground making the figures placement...
Thanks everyone for the positive comments. I really enjoyed and continue to enjoy learning about the Napoleonic Wars and specifically Waterloo. The massed infantry was a huge investment for me but the visual of multiple platoons of Imperial Guard made it worthwhile. Some of you may know that...
It is late in the day and the key village of Plancenoit had once again fallen into Prussian hands threatening the French retreat route. Used Brigadier Pelet’s narration of the events for the French point of view. A decision was made to send 2 battalions of the Old Guard to counterattack the...
Time for another update now that the holidays are over. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. Mike, that church will be in a revised WW2 layout later this year. It is very nice for sure. This week was focused on ground cover and the continuation of the building of the wheat...
Latest update on the diorama, got some time over the week to make some progress on this diorama and the next one on Plancenoit between holiday festivities. Over all progress was slow. I ran out of raw materials for the wheat field so shifted to arranging the French troops and decided to make 2...
Appreciate the supportive comments. I still have a few details on the roof and building scene that will be done over the holidays (I decided to push ahead on this one rather than doing the ACW holiday diorama).
- Interesting on the uniform quote. I will add it to the list of follow up...
Well, another week and another update from the workbench. This week saw the continuation of the blocking and placement of figures on the French side. Finished fitting the damaged side of the nearly finished thatched roof which will be the most visible side in the diorama. Construction began...
Good morning and thought I would show the latest update to the diorama. I have started to do the figure blocking and applying the roof customization to the farm building. First, the farm building scenario is coming along nicely. I really like how the modified Hougoumont building is turning...
Here is the next update to the Plancenoit diorama, just like in the TV show Project Runway, "one day you're in and the next day you're out" spent most of the past week editing the diorama content which resulted in a number of the figures removed for various reasons. The current content will...
