WIP Attack on La Haye Sainte at Waterloo in 28mm

[Waterlooman]

Right then all - I am calling the porch done, as I tried with the moss-lichen but my grass sprinkles are to clumpy and didn't look right so I just did a touch of dry brushing with my dust.

Figures are there just for scale.

Thank you kindly Nap, since my last post I have done just that - added some dry brushed dust to the White on the walls and the slate roofs.

Really looks great, the figures put it in perspective. I think you've done a great job on the weathering as well, it's really coming on great guns.

What can i say, wow!!!!, i love the details on the porch, the one that really caught my attebtion is the detail on the edges of the door, that is just simply perfect work.
The whole are look very realistic and adding those figures to the picture give us a better idea on the size, works very well.
Good job W!

Evening all, a bit more progress - I added a wee bit more dust weathering to the farm house, and I have finished a little bit of cobbled patio I made out of thin wood stock that was just carved out then painted before placing it.

Good idea using the wood, much less messy than the Das Pronto I usually use, keep the updates coming.

Still to do -


I still have the -

Wall to build that goes in front of the patio I just put down.
Extension to the wood store - side - front and roof, and raised up floor.
Work on building a graduated slope where the kitchen garden is - using layers of typing paper.
Fitting my Grass mat over this area.
Make and fit the hedge that goes from the stables to my extreme Right, level with the stables.
Purchase some more French 54th and 55th Line reg troops - paint weather - top coat then place these in the orchard.
Put some odds and ends like loose hats - muskets - backpacks etc scattered around.
Cut the French Cuirassiers off their bases and place the other side of the orchard hedge.
Place my pile of French casualties at the entrance to the Barn.
Finish off making my other single British Cavalry needs painting etc - then place him the other side of the garden hedge.
Place the Lunebourg division remnants in the garden along with a few 5th line KGL wounded.
Then make the trees and fit them in the courtyard.
Any any other bits of touching up where needed.

So yep quite a bit to do yet.

Quite a daunting list, whatever will you do when it’s finished?

That will keep you busy for an hour or two.
I like your flooring.
You can make nice stone slabs from the lids of egg boxes. Cut them into squares/rectangles to whichever size is to scale then glue them onto your substrate, leaving a small gap between each 'slab'. I tend to paint them with acrylics in various greys and browns. Then dry brush slightly lighter. When dry fill the gaps with modelling sand or dust, then secure with something like gravel and sand fixer or dilute pva. When dry use brown, black and green inks to dirty it all down. Just my ha'pennyth worth.
