Just for interest, but it does have a Waterloo connection, tee-hee!

Doug

A fine example of modelling at its very best!

… and a rattling good yarn in the attached link to go with it.

Nice work.

Marty

It looks superb Doug. When will it be "in position"?

Bob

An exquisite building Doug and a captivating tale. 

Waterloo was a fascinating campaign and something I've read and studied.  Way back in the mists of time there were two excellent computer games on the subject:  Prelude to Waterloo (covering Quatre Bras and Ligny) and Waterloo from Talon Soft.  I always found these absorbing as they accurately portrayed the battelfields and the units involved.
