Battle of Waterloo - 1815

Post by cameraman1944 »

This is a depiction of a tiny piece of the action when the Scots Greys charged at Waterloo.

The uniforms are wrong I know ( should have rain protection gear on) but its colourful if nothing else.

All the figures are Airfix 54mm.

Airfix really did come up trumps with these figures. The dynamic poses means you've got yourself a wonderfully dramatic diorama pretty much OOB.

That looks great... the figures are beautifully painted, and so crisp! Photography is excellent, too.

I feel a bit sorry for the lonely Highlander, mind... could he not have a couple of brothers in arms alongside? ;-P

bestest,
