"To go further, I myself am a Scot - the Scots Greys, Scots Guards, Royal Scots, Black Watch, Gordon Highlanders, Cameron Highlanders and Highland Light Infantry certainly prove that the victory was not a purely English one."

Hello,
this is perfectly correct and I understand your point of view.
I didn't want to provoke anyone.... or such... :speak_no_evil:

It only struck me that many people in England believe that the Battle of Waterloo took place only between Hougoumont and La Haye Saint. And this view can even be found among English reenactors, who have actually dealt more intensively with history. When you tell these people that there had been heavy fighting in Plancenoit and up to Fichermont, sometimes you even get told; "But this has nothing to do with the Battle of Waterloo." I've heard these words and other amazing things...
But I think we would probably get similar answers from people from Germany or France who are not familiar with the battle of Waterloo.
But since you're Scottish, you're probably looking at English history a little differently... and with a further perspective on these topics..

And you have no reason to downsize the Siborne diorama and liberate it from Prussian troops.... as one says it to a certain duke... :grimacing:

You do exactly the opposite and you re-build exactly this "Prussian part" of it.... and this surprised me so positively. :grinning:

Another great diorama: http://thrifles.blogspot.com/2015/11/celle-2015-picture-report-waterloo.html

Thanks Gerd, there are some great German Waterloo dioramas but only Thomas Mischak shows Plancenoit!

Yes,

the big diorama build by Thomas Mischak is really great... :+1:

For example his churchyard of Plancenoit:

But I think your diorama shows the arrangement of paths, fields and buildings even more accurately.

You are even closer to the historical situation.

And I'm amazed at how you've done this. :scream:

So let us hear the sound again: https://youtu.be/pRdUcIfYMqA :guardsman:

Thank you Gerd, I have enjoyed the support of the UK National Army Museum who have let me use a 3d scan of the Siborne model. Thomas Mischak is a very generous man and a supporter of my project.
