It is a great bit of modelling and really has captured the likely look of the place and its traditional architecture for 1815. The church is nearer to the present rebuild strictly speaking. The limited evidence was a look more like that still seen in Ohain or St Pierre in Genappe, a less "Gothic" spire. I love the little cemetery. That is so iconic |

Very nice, if I had the modeling skills and more importantly the room to store these types of things. I'd have so many big terrain pieces. |

I saw this the other day on Twitter. Fabulous work and very evocative. |

Very nice indeed and built to the usually high standard of construction. However, having studied the churches in this area for Ligny, the steeple appears to be more Austrian in design. The churches in this region are usually dark grey and the fine edifice at Tongrinne is perhaps fairly representative. The St Amand church is also the original but has a slightly different design. I was wondering why the houses do not have chimneys? Sorry to sound negative, it is a beautiful thing to behold. Best wishes, Chris |

The spire is very much like the rebuild form decades after the battle. Below, Plancenoit and then Ohain and Genappe. The few contemporary images show the latter two as the look at the time. A sort of double pitched spire.

Hi Mr D. Nice pictures proving the point. Still no chimneys? Just a thought but have you tried ‘ driving' around the area via Google Earth? Great fun and very informative regarding terrain etc . My wonderful wife, Der Feldmarschall suggested it years ago when I was researching Ligny. Chris |

I agree with Gunfreak. I love terrain modelling and if the storage space were available I would create vignettes like this (probably not as good, though!). A great find, Armand, and you have recovered the prestige you lost by posting pictures of those awful plastic fusiliers! |

Let me add the idea of Google Earth, from CMD. You do need to walk it, but there is that Pond for our less fortunate colleagues from King George's lost colonies. It is a long way for you folk, but well worth it.
But the whole field…the bit that really matters can now be "walked"" from your PC
I went back around a certain battlefield in Pennsylvania only last night. Doubt, at my age, I will ever get that far again. But once at "The Angle"…second time…naw been there. It would never be the same magic.
First time is always magic. Actually a bit ..no, I am only just back from verge of the Dawghouse over that Firearms thing. They were very forgiving……. |
