Assorted scenery

Hoi,

Just a minor post today with some 28mm Victorian scenery pieces. First is a Wargames Foundry handcart with exchangeable produce. I have 3 inlays with products to put on it; one with fruit and veggies, one with fishesheshsss and one with I don't know what so I haven't painted the latter one up yet and did not include it in the pictures here.





Next up are some statues carrying coals and candles to illuminate your great hall, underground dungeon, castle-hall or other such locations. What firm made these I do not know I picked them up in a bargain bin on some convention or other.



Cheers Sander

Waterloo: Dutch Militia

Hoi,

Not finished in time for the 18th of June as well was this unit of Dutch Militia. These are of course HäT figures in a firing line. I put all the firing poses I owned up on bases and this left me with enough soldiers (32) to make either two smaller units or one rather large one. I still need to make a command stand but I lack an officer and musician at the moment.


A quite common misconception about Dutch troops, of the 100 Days Campaign, exists regarding their standards. While designs had been made as early as 1814, these were not handed over to the troops themselves before the hostilities started. So the regiments went into battle without them and having to make do with fanions only. Therefore I will not include any for this regiment or any other in my force.
