Attack on the South Gate (3 Viewers)

[mestell]

This is a follow-up to the thread UK Reb started asking what other WB ranges besides the Zulu range forum members collected. Here is a picture of some of my French soldiers:

A Compagnie de Voltigeurs of the 1er Bataillon du 1er Regiment d'Infanterie Legere start their assualt on the South Gate of Chateau Hougoumont.

Very nicely done Mike. By the way take the hat off of the Brit standing at ready and put a bandage wrap around his head and he could pass for a relitive of private Tasker. Looking forward to more of you play time with your Nappy's.....The Lt.

Mike,
One question...How much are you paying the new photographer?
Top Notch!

Very nice Mike, looking forward to seeing more. That first picture is a beauty !!

I really like that picture of the French charging the north gate... I didn't realize how well that gate looks photographed since I haven't taken any photos with mine! Britains did a great job with that gate! The top of the Hougoumont well and the grey background really brings out the depth of your scene... very, very nice! Three cools and a smile for that one!!!

Absolutely brilliant set-ups and stonking photography-especially the first picture-back-shot placements are exactly how I like to try and get them.

Brits Naps really are a special collection but your shot of the Gate Crashers could almost double for Santa Anna's attack on the Alamo

Knock-out stuff Mike-keep-em coming and Good Lord not a single Zulu to be seen-amazing

These are very good Mike, unfortunately I have no room to collect Nap sets

Keep these pictures coming

Cheers

[Jagdpanther]

Excellent pictures Mike! I will have to take some photos of mine now.

Thank you:
Mike - the photographer doesn't cost much but I think I am going to start investing in AA Duracell batteries.

Scott - I used a picture of the new JG Miniatures Hougoumont building as the backdrop in the first picture. Glad you liked it.

History for the Ages - "The Gate Crashers" was my favorite also.

UK REB - Thanks for the kind compliment Bob. You, Joe (LT) and Randy (Polar Bear) are my inspirations and still the masters of photography.

Martyn - You need to make some room

Titus - Would really like to see your pictures.
