I have started this post to show my progress (or lack thereof) with setting scenes. I purchased a couple of backdrops which I have temporarily blue-tacked to an MDF board with supports. Not ideal but this is new to me. Anyway, here are my first photos with the backdrop. I know it needs a lot of improvement and any suggestions will be gratefully received!
The first is Perry's fine mini diorama of Napoleon and Staff FN1 (this includes Napoleon, Ney leaning on table, Soult, Drouot, Colonel Gourgaud ,Hussar officer acting as ADC and map table). The tents are Renedra.
The next scene is also Perry Miniatures FN 86 Young Guard, Voltigeurs/Tirailleurs sitting on their packs, again with Renedra tents and firepit.
