What a great project.Great work requires a large amount of time and I think all the work will be well worth it.I am torn at wanting to see the finished results and following all the details your putting into it.
Mark

Thanks Mark, i will see the light at the end of the tunnel one day haha, this project will take long.
i am still adding the fourth square one i finish the battle scene with the Redcoats.
the 4th square will have some more troops marching and main attraction will be the French artillery

 

[MarquisMini]

I decided to re-arrange the battle scene so i could add few welsh guards stading ready with the flag , which later would have been overun by the frenchies.
the purpose of this Attack on the guards was to create a diversionary moment so the french Artillery could secure positions and further contruction of siege lines.

And finally the redcoat's reinforcements arrive from UK.
i cleaned the figures with sooay water and scotchbrite sponge..then i primed them with self etching primer.
let it dry out for few hours and applied the redcoat base using Andrea color dark red.
tomorrow i will give it a second pass on the base color.

Thanks for your kind comment Alan.
for now i will keep it at home, on my garage/man cave.
maybe i will offer it to the Yorktown museum, but i doubt the'll take it.
i am doing it just for fun, but space it 's limited and gotta keep my wife happy and out of my business hahaha.
regards

Tomorrow i will foloow with the 2 nd light and last lights.

Hi there MM,

This is looking great everywhere I look there are lovely details ...the flags are my real favourite .

Each figure has his own particular character all adding to the diorama

Just how big is this all going to be when finished ?

Thanks for sharing
