Hi Vladimir,
Superb anatomical sculpting and composition of the figures, you can have small vignettes or a whole diorama and the diorama looks natural and not forced. Very clever sculpting, a lot of thought and work has gone into this and it reflects in completed figures. Kudos, kudos and bravo.:cool: Love it.(y)
cheers

Thank you very much Richie ,
I decided that the 54 mm scale would allow me to create large original compositions that are affordable. I am tryining to understand the harmony in composition of several figures. I hope that the following vignettes will be more perfect.

This is superbly sculpted, however there is no record of French cavalry breaking a Redcoat infantry square. British Colours were taken in battle as detailed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_colours_lost_in_battle

In the Battle of García Hernández on 23 July 1812, two brigades of Anglo-German cavalry led by Major-General Eberhardt Otto George von Bock defeated 4,000 French infantry led by Major-General Maximilien Foy. In what would otherwise have been an unremarkable Peninsular War skirmish, the German heavy dragoons achieved the unusual feat of breaking three French squares, those of the 6th, 69th and 76th Line,routing the entire French force with heavy losses. The 1st and 2nd King's German Legion (KGL) Dragoons, led the pursuit of the French. In support of Bock were the 1,000 troopers of George Anson's British light cavalry brigade (11th and 16th Light Dragoons).

Vladimir is depicting the capturing of the 69th colour at Quatre Bras which occurred while the regiment was in the process of forming square. Capt Lindsey halted the Grenadier company and companies 1 and 2 to face about and fire on the cuirassiers as he spotted them approaching. By doing this he prevented the side of the square facing the cuirassiers from joining up with the rest of the battalion.

.. generic details (the 1774 vs 1768 warrants varied in detail but remained in force in 1815 though St Patrick's cross was added to the Union Flag and the shamrock to the wreath, plus non-reg ornamental cartouches/shields came into vogue: all shown on the 69ths flag)... and Regt uniforms:
