This is a 120mm diorama with seven figures - three horses and four men. The figures and assessories are from Verlinden, Michael Roberts, and Miniart. The figures represent a Sapper of the 5th Hussars (on foot); a downed Scots Grey trooper; and a mounted Line lancer (with pistol) and Cuirassier (with rope). The kit is assembled and awaiting paint. The Foam and Bondo base is mounted on Red Oak.
Coup De Grace
Belgium, 1815
Belgium, 1815
Despite attempts to recall them, the momentum of the Scots Greys charge carried them past La Haye Sainte and they found themselves at the bottom of the hill on spent horses facing French infantry to the front and counter-attacked by the Cuirassiers and Lancers to each side. Of the 416 who started the charge, only 201 made it back to their lines safely.
