Terrain For The Battle of Leipzig: Part 2

 My intention was to start adding grout to the new river panels but decided to finish building the extra panels. I laid out all the new, unfinished panels along side both the old panels and the proposed panels ( the raw foam in the upper left corner) to get an idea how much more materials I will need:

All the old panels needed 1" by 2" frames built for them as well so I picked up another 100' of 1" by 2" boards, another 3 sheets of 1/4" plywood and one more 2' square piece of 1" foam. I think after this I will have enough panels for just about any battle we want to fight!

Once all the panels were done, I used Polyblend's Sanded Caulk (Coffee Bean) as a base in the river bottom:

I then started the process of gluing down a layer of Polyblend Sanded Grout (Coffee Bean again) as I did with the Wagram and Alma boards:

For those that are curious, the Sanded Caulk comes in a tube and requires a caulking gun, the Sanded Grout is a powder that comes in a box, which is mixed with water when used for it's intended purpose. You could easily mix it up and apply it wet but I like the effect you get sprinkling it on as a powder over thinned white glue. 

Another piece of the Leipzig puzzle I am responsible for is Napoleon's 'Pygmy Cavalry' - The Krakusi:

These figures are from Boki Miniatures in Estonia. 

The miniatures are nice, but I feel the casting has let the sculpting down a bit. Some quite fine detail is a bit obscured, mostly around the sword hilt, scabbard, stirrups and irons. 

Over the Christmas break I expect to get all the grouting done and sealed. After that, it will be time to pour the resin in the river sections.
