Glad you enjoyed the post everybody.
At Sharnhost (check spelling) War College in the UK there was a diorama of
the battle of Blenheim ratio 1:1 in similar scale some years back. That gentleman had help
from his students   

the 007 guy in this story is someone who in my humble opinion is my 'god'   
I have 6 mm which I'm painting and planned to do a 1:1 of the battle of Marengo  but its
there is no more money for it . I'll get some pics an post.

regards to all

Really impressive. I can not even imagine the number of hours of painting.
Thanks

Hi redhot ,

I think he mentions 500 painted in 24 period divided by 450,000 which is his entire
collection ....

Gros travail... !!  Dommage que ce soit pour Waterloo

Gros travail... !!  Dommage que ce soit pour Waterloo

Oui, tant pis ce travail est limité à une seule bataille parmi des centaines, mais pour beaucoup, Waterloo était la bataille SEULEMENT importance .... Je pense que cet homme est encore à essayer de trouver un acheteur ou un musée, pour sa collection de justifier son travail détaillé

I would love to see these models set up as per the original deployment in 1 - 1 scale, what a sight that would be...
They could use it at the Waterloo museum, would make a fantastic attraction imo. Oh the grandeur!
When you think that experts could recognize every regiment because he has painted them exactly as they were, genius.
