Waterloo 200 - Capturing of the Eagle of the 105th Ligne

Been a little while due to life problems and work commitments..... Thought I would show off something with a Waterloo theme.......

Firstly, capture of the Eagle of the 105th Ligne by Captain Clark and Cpl Stiles of the 1st(Royal) Dragoons

Controversy still surrounds the capture of the Eagle and a discussion on this can be found in Adkins, The Waterloo Companion p417 to 418

7th Hussars - 28mm Britannia Miniature WIP

The 7th Hussars were the only French Hussar unit at Waterloo..... Others were detached with other parts of the army. These are the penultimate cavalry figures that I have left to paint for the stand so I started to think about these miniatures today and decided to paint one up as a practice piece.....

Fairly happy with the results so will finish him off tomorrow and then think about doing the rest of the unit

Available from here:
