The Battle of Waterloo a 1/72 Napoleonic Diorama

Eric Williamson's 1/72 Napoleonic figures from his collection are on display. Presented on a 9' x6' field and featuring the Airfix version of La Haye Saint. The figures are 95% plastic and 5% metal in composition. I am particularly fond of the closing segment. 3000 figures +++++++ Enjoy! produced by 1/72 Legions In Plastic Depot

Airfix,Italeri,Zvezda,HaT,Revell,ESCI.Been through two Napoleonic army collections in my life.All 1:72.

Magnifique! I bought many of those Airfix soldiers in the 1970's As soon as the paint started flaking off the shiny plastic I lost heart to continue painting but I still loved setting up diaramas. You are an expert!

Me too, great memories inspired by the film Waterloo.

Reminds me of the illustrations from a book in the 70's titled The War Game.

Bonjour j'aurais pas fait mieux, nous avons probablement les mêmes figurines bravo j'aime beaucoup.

[@thefoodmercenary]

Merci mon ami. J'ai tellement plus de projets à construire que je ne sais parfois pas par où commencer quand on se termine. Mon dernier diorama «Napoléon en campagne» arrive cette semaine et une nouvelle construction commence.

Wow

[@BrasidasI]

Does anyone know from what set and manufacturer the french officer on horse is at 5:40? I have a set from those but I was given those 10+ years ago and don't have the box anymore but would like to get more but I don't know where to search for those

[@thefoodmercenary]

The mounted French officer is from the Airfix French Infantry set 01744. It was also re-issued by HAT 7008.

[@BrasidasI]

@@thefoodmercenary Thank you for the quick response, exactly the set I meant! Now to find it!

[@billybobjohn8955]

No defensive squares?

[@thefoodmercenary]

There are 4. The field was not as big as I would have liked at 8x8' most of the figures were from Eric's collection so I was limited a little by what was on hand even though I added Highlanders and British artillery.

[@iamsuperroot]

what do you use as a primer? Thanks.

[@thefoodmercenary]

Rustoleum spray paint.

[@wildgregful]

This is awsome!!! Can u send me some ideas

[@thefoodmercenary]

Ideas? Narrow it down a bit.
