Waterloo in 28mm - My journey log

[Helge]

Wishing you all a wonderful New Year! Thank you for all the encouragement over the last 13 months of this project. It really pushed me to keep up the momentum. As a result of your support, my Napoleonics painted collection has now officially outgrown all previous game systems. Below is my historical track of painted models by game system. Notice that purple rocket ship



Of course much remains to be done since I also added quite a few Napoleonic models this year which still need to be painted. So there is no end to this effort any time soon!

[Helge]

After family travel, work travel, and the now almost obligatory COVID quarantine resulting from such trips, I am finally back in the painting business!

Here we have the 2nd Brunswick Hussars and a single squadron of Brunswick Uhlans. This belatedly completes the Brunswick division. Next will be the last Landwehr brigade.

and looking as good as ever.
you sure do pack it all in. Do your days have only the usual 24 hrs I have to wonder.

Look great as usual, hope the Covid has left you OK now gone

Cheers

[Helge]

Thank you both. The final sprint continues. I am now digging into Col. Vincke's 5th Hannover Brigade as the last red infantry. Here we have Landwehr Bataillon Hameln made from leftover Perry metals and some Warlord plastics.



I am also assembling more field vignettes. Here we have a Scots band of the Black Watch, a few wagons, a field smithy, and a sightseeing officer. The last is from the new Warlord Peninsula Veteran box which I will sprinkle into the remaining Landwehr were the older uniforms fit in.

oh wow, all particularly good

These are outstanding vignettes that will add character to your battlefield. Well done!

Lovely vignettes.  Is that an umbrella to keep the sun off in the last one? 

[Harry Faversham]

It's Waterloo, keep the rain off!
 

[Helge]

Thank you all. Here we have Landwehr Gifhorn, again from leftover Perry and Warlord models.



In a (final) fit of enthusiasm I have not committed to do the full 3rd Netherlands Division just so that truly everything on the field at Waterloo is in the collection. Models are en route over the pond so the Anglo-Dutch army isn't quite done just yet...

This project never stops to amaze me. Well done!

[CapnJim]

Yep - even more great-looking figs.  Your output is impressive!

[Helge]

Thank you both. Still plugging away. Here we have Landwehr Hildesheim assembled from my remaining Perry (they had belgic shakos unlike the typical Landwehr).

[MaleGriffin]

You're inspirational! Thank you for documenting your journey!

[brunei35]
