that's an excellent display!

Where's the grass matt from?

I have the same K&C Napoleonic sets as you do, I didn't get any duplicates.

In addition, I have some Del Prado, Hachette and Collector's showcase and First Legion Napoleonics. Will show pics soon.

Hi oberstoskar.

The Matt's are from Build-a-Rama.
How do collectors showcase figures look next to K& C?

Very best wishes Mark

Hi all

Some more photo's of Waterloo.

Cutting up some poor old stragglers.

Defending Hougomont.

Old guard Artillery pounding the British square.

Sending out fresh skirmishers.

Standing solid like a Saxon shield wall.

Presenting captured Eagles to Wellington.

Captured British officer.

Fight to the death.

Returning to camp after the battle.

Very nice scenes and collection of figures Mark. The way you have them displayed they all seem to fit together quite well. I would not there really was no "smashing into squares" since the soldiers in square kept their nerve and there were no openings to exploit and contrary to popular notion, cavalry did not really charge into a square. The second cavalry/square shot is more representative I think. Very enjoyable photos, thanks for sharing.

Mark,

Great scenes you have there...I like to add a little "fire" to my cannon explosions by taking a red and black marker to the cotton and making streaks in it to make it look like fire and dirt coming up with the smoke.

Mark, I like the latest group the best so far. I think my favorite is the Hougomont scenes which have really nice tension. It is a hard choice however since they are all very good.
