My interest  first  started  with that  Airfix  Waterloo  kit  -  the  small   one with  those  terrible  small  figures.

quick note on the Rifle officer, the band on his hat should be Rifle green, the same shade as his uniform, only the sash on his waist should be red,

Also, according to Mike Chappel, the blue on the 5th's uniforms should be a Navy blue, and the trousers of every member of the KGL should be light grey, Mike Chappel is not the most reliable source though, so if you have something from people like Brendan Simms, or a first hand account, go with that instead

Speaking of Simms, i know the farm model is pre-made and you just gotta glue it together, however a fair few large holes were punched into the roof of the main house for more Riflemen to be able to shoot at once,

Great to see you haven't made the mistake of having the KGL Represented as Redcoated linesmen speaking English to the 95th,

And don't forget the 5th's Line Companies would never defend the farm itself, their task was to provide cover for the withdrawing 1st, 2nd, 5thL, 95th, and Luneburg infantry that had to run away, and then got cut down for their trouble, Prince of Orange did nothing wrong, nor did Alten, the 5th's orders made perfect sense. the 8th did get sent forward to support the Light battalions earlier in the day though, so if you want some line representation that isn't the Feldbattalion von Luneburg, you can include a handful of 8th

overall veeeeri nice, and have a photo of my KGL Officer I painted up earlier in the year, i might improve it a bit after looking at all these painted models


Can I also  show  you  this  painting that shows  the  scene  inside the  farm  with  the  2nd KGL  - Luneburg  and  a  few  5th KGL  light.

These all look great! Really can imagine them moving, you give them very alive poses  :D Why do you take interest specifically in 54th - 55th?

Think it's because it was primarily those regiments from D'erlons corp attacking the farmhouse.

Indeed    -  they became   quite   commited  in attacking the  farm   for   most  of the  day.
