Class act Ratch - your painting of structures just gets better and better mate - I love the white wash on the walls fading to reveal the red brick underneath. That along with the weathering is truly realistic; the whole model just exudes an "atmosphere". Brilliant work!

Thank you too John - you must read '24 HOURS AT WATERLOO -18 JUNE 1815' by Robert Kershaw. I picked up a copy in a sale. A most enlightening read told from all sides using contemporary accounts by the ordinary soldier and even some civilians 8-)
