A final straingening of the sides of the extended stretcher was done before I add the rivets.

I resculpted more new figs. These three prussians are coming in from the left. The other figures are reaching final sculpting. A new dead French soldier is being sculpted. I added chin scales to all the pickelhaubes.

More wip. For the french, I focused on sculpting gaiters.

Then I tested their positions within the scene. I had to relocate the bldg structures to get the results I wanted. You can see the areas where the grass was denuded. The last pic is a dress rehearsal.

These are some of the WIP figures.

Hi JPG, thanks for looking. Ive worked on the stretcher part and reattached it to the stretcher.

The progress.

Some of you will remember this olde fig I made as part of my WW1 collection. Well, Ive always wanted to redo a couple of things with this. The stretcher is too short as contemporary photos will show and the left hand is awkwardly handled. So as a relief from the FPW piece, I decided to do...

Then further sculpted the nx lot.

I started to paint and detail this lot of figs. Prussian blue is always shiny so I will have to matt it later.

More work on these figs.

Hi Louis, Thanks for yr ebullient and premature remarks. But at this stage, I'll take all the kudos for energy as I plough the fields of Gravelotte.... I ve excavated quite a number of 1/35 body parts. Bought a lot of 1/35 figure kits with useless modern weapons and paraphernalia. Anyway...

Here are a few more figs being knocked up, all French. I even used a Segom body for one of the figs. I then added details and resculpted some of the figures to position them correctly in the scene.

Then I added grass, some foliage and rocks to the scene. The bldg props were glued into place. The first pic shows the whole scene within the box. The second picture is to proposed frame size for this scene. I resized the gate and reposed testfitted the figs charging thru it. The focus is now...

Aannnnd we have liftof! I ptd the brickwalls and posed the figs and props. Looking promising, eh?

I started to add bricks and completed this and also added small rocks as well.

Finally, the brick walls were plastered.

The figures charging thru the gateway were posed and then I added the muskets and sword.

I added pinheads to the door, and painted the posters.
