The "Surrender of Montreal, 1760" (1 Viewer)

The British Forces are celebrating the “Surrender of Montreal, 1760”

Today I am experimenting with my Britains “Classics” figures for a future display of the British Forces celebrating the “Surrender of Montreal, 1760”.
I got some additional troops today, the 15th Foot, so enough reason to set them up and see how they can be displayed at the end.
My plans are to show three Regiments, the 1st Foot Guards, the 15th Regt. of Foot and the 44th Grenadiers, all of them apparently present at this event. The display will be of a parade ground, probably somewhere in Montreal. The 1st Foot Guards are already at attention, while the 15th and the 44th are marching up to join the celebration.

The centerpiece of the diorama, in the middle between the 1st Foot Guards Drums and Fifes and the 1st Foot Guards Command Set, will be a flagpole displaying the “Union Jack” without any regimental signs.
Today I learned from Ken via Randy that that would be the appropriate color to display on a celebration like that.

The final base, after having the majority of figures available (44th Foot Grenadiers in April), will be a few inches larger to either side, so there will be convenient space to place some single figures (future releases). Of course it can be adjusted any time if necessary.

So here we go, the 15th Regt. coming up.

Shown here in the next two pictures, is the empty space for the 44th Foot Grenadiers to march along.

And at last a bird's eye view of the place where at the center the flagpole with the Union Jack will be placed.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Happy Collecting!

Thanks for posting the pics Konrad. Looking forward to seeing your display develop as the new Britains figures are released.

Wow Konrad,

Those are great might I suggest a Cannon and of course some French Officers surrendering the keys to the fort.

Very very nice display!

All the best

Konrad,

It would seem that you have more than your fair share of the Britain's Classic range

Seriously that is one mean display there and shows just what excellent figures they are. Looking forward to seeing the next phase.

What a great suggestion. Konrad already has the WB FIW artillery set!
It's exciting for us to be able to help build this together.What a team
Hollywood should hire the lot of us as advisors.

The artillery and the French Officers or delegation, both are great ideas. I will try to fit my artillery set in there and as of the French we will have to see what Britains comes up with throughout the year.
Thanks, Dave,
Konrad
