Waterloo and Plancenoit Diorama (1 Viewer)

[7th OVI]

I thought I would give an update on my next diorama. I am doing a diorama on a portion of the battle of Waterloo, specifically the action around Plancenoit involving the old guard. I have never done a diorama on the Napoleonic Wars even though I have a deep interest in that time period. So, this will be a first for me. I am still researching the story and diorama so it will not be ready soon. Here are a few images of the figures that I will be using. I will primarily be using WB Imperial Guard and First Legion Polish Lancer figures this time. There will be about 140 figures in the diorama. I will also be using some of WB's terrain pieces and creating a few from scratch. I will post updates as time goes on. I attached a few images of the figures that will be using. Wish me luck with this one. Thx Chris

Chris,
Good for you, I'm sure your mega talents will shine through on this project, this is right in my wheelhouse, Plancenoit at Waterloo was literally a battle within a battle.

Napoeleon sent his young guard in to defend the town, he later committed part of his Imperial Guard Grenadier reserve to try to hold onto the town/protect his right flank/almost his rear, the fighting was house to house, garden to garden, it centered around a massive church in the middle of the town, it was walled and had a cemetery as well.

There are loads of maps and images on the internet to assist you as well, wishing you all the best with this, really looking forward to this taking shape. At the wargaming convention I attended two weekends ago, there was a Plancenoit game, it was great and gives you a nice perspective of how the village was laid out,

You are off to an amazing start, Chris!
