La Garde Recule - Waterloo 1815

[smudger1960]

After 9 months of planning,sculpting,sanding,converting and finaly painting I've finaly finished this latest project.
I don't think I need to explain any details of the process as I've already covered this in previous posts but with projects this big there's some people I would like to thank for their help,first of all I would like to thank Graham Scollick from CGS Military Figures for proving me with the spare bearskins,knapsacks,muskets and bayonets,without Grahams assistance none of this project would have been possible.
Also I would like to thank Ron Clark for his assistance with regards the musket details and providing me with the aluminium strip for the musket slings.
Also a big thank you to Stu from stormtroopers with his assistance in providing me with a replacement officers hand (I broke the original ).
I would also like to thank my good friend Ron Tamburinni for proving the base,a real piece of quality work.
Also I think a big thank you is in order as well for Carl Reid,Carls sculpts are some of the best in the hobby today and have given me a new drive and direction with regards to my modelling,they're will be plenty of Carls sculpts coming from me in the next few years.

It only remains for me to thank all my friends and fellow modelers here on Planet Figure for all your support and kind coments during the last 9 months which have helped and guided me along.

The composition was intended to be a tight group,but due to restrictions regarding knapsacks and musket butts and elbows it wasn't possible to get that real tightness I first thought

Brian.
I wouldn't know what to say that could justify the work,time, effort, and amazing talent that put this together. Truly out of this world.
Great . I think it will be the first thing I look for at Euro.

WOW can't really say much more other than this has been a pleasure to follow from start to finish.
As always Ron's come up with a cracking high quality base that this masterwork deserves.
Thanks for the effort you put in to involve us all in the journey.
Best wishes
Derek
