We have just released a new 6mm Napoleonic model in the form of Mont St Jean farm, Belgium - the first of three new models due out to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Waterloo.

Mont St Jean farm is situated on the main road from the Waterloo battlefield to Brussels, and was used by Wellington as a hospital to treat the wounded on that day.



This rendered stone representation of Mont St Jean is hand cast in a paint-friendly ivory coloured polyester resin and consists of 7 main pieces, and one which is optional, and has a built footprint of roughly 175 x 125mm.

The model consists of the follwing pieces: Front with entrance gate & tower, Barn, Farmers House, Main Court, Outbuilding, Small Left Gate, Well and Small barn porch



There is some confusion as to the original location of the Farmers House and the Main Court so siting them is down to the users choice. It has not been confirmed that the small barn porch was in place during the campaign or is a post Waterloo addition and is therefore its use is optional.

Other 6mm Napoleonic models due to be released in the near future include Papelotte and Hougoumont.

Lovely!
Being a pain for a minute - you did have some plans at one stage to do 10mm - you even had some hints on your site - which seem to have disappeared - do I take it the plans to do 10mm have gone as well?
I still love the 6mm but I was looking forward to the 10mm version of the Fachwerhauser - if they aren't going to appear I may make do with the 6mm versions and squint.

for the moment, yes - I'm afraid the 10mm is on hold for a while. The main problems are time and space. Though I can scale the plans up easily enough, actually making the masters, moulds and casts would take months and there's just not enough hours in the day to do my 6mm stuff let alone expanding to 10mm yet.

That's a big area for 6mm, what will be the footprint for Hougomont? They will be great centre-pieces for 18th June 2015.

Hi Dave, Hougoumont fits nicely on an A4 board (295 x 210)

It looks an excellent addition to the range. Thanks. In my old Napoleonic days, I painted up the metal one and glued together the paper one. Surely a great addition to a wargame of any period.
