Hougoumont.....My way. (1 Viewer)

[Naps...just Naps]

All done, my thanks go to Robin (Villagehorse) for kindly suppling the measurements of his model which were a great help.






Now for the two flanking cow sheds....

That is one superb model. Brilliantly done.^&cool

Just one comment. Have a check on the ridge tiles on the roof angles. They look as though they are the wrong way up.

Cheers

Thanks mate, but to be accurate the angle ridge tiles on any pictures I can find are rounded but I had to use what I had so they are neither right or wrong just 'my way'...:wink2:

Thanks Jeff, I didn't keep track of the hours so I guess about a month at about a few hours most days.

Anyone interested in seeing what it looks like surrounded by 500 - 600 K&C Napoleonics should get along to the Brisbane Collectors Dinner in the middle of the year. It is one of the highlights of the Brisbane Social Season!

I wish I could see this! Someone has to take pictures of it, for those of us who can't make it down under.

We will be having it professionally photographed and will share the photographs on Treefrog. We will also be publishing a book for the evening that can be purchased. We did a small one last year but have got a bit more ambitious.
