Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
As part of our Waterloo project, we've been working on Mont St Jean farmhouse. It's a work in progress. My father built the farm and Liam is painting the figures. The farm was Allied 1st Corps Field Hospital and therefore the concentration point for Allied casualties. Deserters and French prisoners of war also headed north past its front gate.
I've acquired some close ups of the Siborne model which were very helpful in designing the building:
A couple of shots of our farm. The bails of hay are modern and don't fit:
More figures will be following from Liam next week and then I can start to assemble this section of the diorama.
Fantastic yet again & great to see something away from the most intense fighting. Have read/watched some of the new discoveries from the dig at Mont St Jean farm by Waterloo Uncovered. Think there was a trench that not only had some poor chap in, but also some horse skeletons too. Think they said they actually led the horses down into the trench, before putting them out of their misery. Showing the casualties/dead in a field hospital setting helps show some sad realism which at times gets forgotten about with these battles.
As others have said, good of you to keep the forum alive in these quiet times. Shame Strelets haven't been able to release their British line infantry in square or create and release some of the other allies in square, so that some more excellent figures could of been part of the allied squares in your diorama, which when all placed out with French cavalry all around them will look simply breathtaking I am sure.
Ah, so very, very nice! Love those Scarlet Red uniforms. And the casualties are so realistic. Thank you so much for posting some of your photos of this monumental project. It's pure pleasure and so appreciated to find these posted here when you can on this forum. :+1:
