AOE 28mm Waterloo - The Plancenoit wall

 


Many years ago I bought this little church in a Chinese shop and somehow it looked like the Plancenoit church. Having the wall of the church is mandatory as it was the focus of the battle much more than the church itself. The space between the church and the wall is just enough for the 4cm width bases I use for 28mm. 


The perimeter of the wall should be small as well as the church itself as I intend to have the full Waterloo terrain on the table. 



A great piece of inspiration came from the Napoleonic Archive books on Waterloo with this fantastic Plancenoit ...


... and a trip to the place made the rest. 



While making lots of terrain for Bir Hakeim thin slices of Blue Board came out and were used for the round shape of the wall. The material bends quite well and is carved easily. 


This piece of terrain can also be used in many scales as a walled garden...


... or the center of a chateau. 

Next: Little Big Horn most probably along with more Bir Hakeim.
