Hello Folks

Sculpted by Adam McMaster is this 75mm scale resin diorama depicting a sergeant and two guardsmen of the Coldstreams Light Company defending Le Chateau de Hougoumont during the battle of Waterloo 1815. The set includes the substantial scenic base.

Price is £95.00 which includes worldwide shipping.

I will be casting sets soon and if anyone is interested in obtaining one please email me on [email protected].
Cheers
Gordon

Plenty of action going on in this piece and although its a great stand alone set it really begs for some additional figures, perhaps one handing a rifle or ammo up to the guy with outstretched arms and a couple french on the attacking side of the wall so don't cut Adams chains just yet, however its another great release Gordon.

Agree with Terry, an ammo-bearer would give more context to the "Al Jolson" guy, and a couple of Frenchmen on the opposite side of the wall would finish it off as "all-round" vignette and perfect for display on one of those revolving bases.

Nevertheless still very nice just as it is, and I'm sure you'll shift a few Gordon.

Adam McMaster has, on the quiet, become one of the standout sculpting talents in Europe. The guy mustn't sleep though, go easy Gordon; You'll burn him out! (y)
 
What I know of Adam Gordon, is that he have a monument in Australia
Is this a posthumous work ?

LoL... I'd, never heard of him until your comment ;)

I like the sculptor's eye for detail:
Paul Montford was awarded the Gold Medal at the Royal Society of Britain Sculptors for the finest piece of sculpture in 1934, but not before he had corrected the modern hexagonal pencil to a round draughtsman's pencil of the period
 
Not sure if the crossbowman and the man-at-arms were ever released commercially (maybe someone knows??)

The two crusaders carrying the mortally wounded third guy was though (under the title of "Death of Richard I" or something like that). Can't remember who by though, might have been Ellie's.
