On a bit of a brain explosion I picked up three kits of the
Italeri Waterloo 200th Anniversary La Haye Sainte. This was not
really on my agenda but the impulse was just too great. The local model shop said they would match
the internet price so in I went with $220 . This was about $60 cheaper than the
shop would have otherwise put the boxes on sale for.
Anyway – the upshot is that I now have a pretty fantastic
MDF La Haye Sainte to put together. This is going to be a summer project I
guess because I just don’t have the room to have a massive farm sitting in the
lounge. The family house up in Hampden
has much more room so I guess it will live there. The question will be can I
live with the set in my room whispering “Build me build me!” Here are the pics
of the set minus the front of the main boz which simply had a Banner Waterloo 200th Anniversary above a Brown Bess.

I haven’t seen any reviews of this specific set on the internet so
I think I might do a review as I build. This will be something new for me and I am infamously disorganised so this is more aspirational than a real promise.
