Lovely painting Peter.
Hi Peter,
I started to play catch up on this new project of yours and bugger I..... you've finished him. As per usual cracking paint job. You never let us down Peter.
In June at Glasgow University, a record for the largest amount of war gaming figures on a table at any one time is going to be tried. The Conflict Archaeology Department of Glasgow University is organizing the event. Professor Tony Pollard who is in charge of the department. It is to do with the charity ''Waterloo Uncovered'' for veterans/serving service personnel suffering with PTSD.
Wargammers from all over the world have offered to supply and paint figurines for the event......
Cheers Mike :sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping::sleeping:

Hi Peter
I have followed and admired your figure painting for quite a while now and although every one has been excellent one or two honestly take my breath away. This is one of those. It is up there with the very best.

Ralph - Many thanks.
Jim - Thanks also. I'm going to wait a bit before doing Wellington.
Mike - Sorry, this was a bit of a quickie. Glad you like him. The Waterloo mega wargame sounds amazing. Tony Pollard has been on TV quite a lot lately - he originally appeared with a young Neil Oliver in the 'Two Men in a Trench' series many years ago.
I remember being overwhelmed by the huge Wateloo diorama that was displayed in the keep at Dover Castle when I was a boy. It was one of two made in the C19th by a Captain Siborne. One is now in the Royal Armouries and the other in the Greenjackets museum.

He looks superb Peter.
Cracking job as usual Peter.....love the coat colours especially....
Hi Peter,
The Waterloo diorama in the Royal Green Jackets museum was constructed in the70's by Valhallla modeling club that was based in Bath and Bristol encompassing the surrounding areas, it was initially shown in Bath where it remained until the early 80's in what was a small shop, it was then moved to the RGJ. museum after the number of Riflemen was increased to better represent the Regiments contribution.

Mick - Many thanks.
Tim - Cheers also.
Jim - Thanks for that. Quite hard to work out the truth from the info on Google. I just remember loving the original.

Hi Peter,
I first saw the RGJ diorama in Bath around 1981 when it was pristene and looked after, I moved to Winchester in 1989 and it appeard in the RGJ museum shortly afterwards and still had the Valhalla clubs labelling, it was then refurbished by the museum with more Riflemen added and interactive lighting. I went to the museum last September prior to moving to Devon and sad to say it will need the Time team crew to get it back to how it should be.

Jim - That's a shame. Let's hope someone decided to look after it.
Peter - Thanks. I sometimes get into a painting frenzy......

Steve H - Many thanks. ''Oh, the the thigh bone's connected to the hip bone...''
Steve - That's a pretty amazing diorama. Many thanks for posting the photos.
John - Had a cabinet clear-out (old stuff to the loft) so the piano's safe (for now!).

I'm sorry too Richard - I do try to take it easy. But it's as I always say: ''So many models, so little time.''
One of them must be the Siborne dio Mike!
