Very nice diorama, realistic, and one cannot even see the limit of the réduction: the sky takes all space above and the tress all around!!
Excellent assault of the footmen and horsemen towards the village, and I like the fire starting to grow against the wooden wall ...


Perhaps to complete the scenery, you could add some arrows dispersed and sent from the wall's bowmen towards the assault, to show that not all of them had reached and killed a man, some javelins, spears, stones, axes also that missed their target, any ladder? on the floor or raised half way?  as the green floor looks too clean as is now...


Congratulations !

Any feedback is highly appreciate.

I do intend to include the Bretegnier figure of Prince Repnin being led in by a Grenadier a Cheval. The hunt is now for suitable Corpses or wounded to add a little atmosphere.

Rapp's memoirs talk about presenting some banners and that Gerard's painting was loosely based on the event.  Here is nice explanation of the painting - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Austerlitz,_2_December_1805_(G%C3%A9rard)  I think it is essentially propaganda very, loosely based on a number of facts - capturing a banner was a nice way to secure promotion and usually a reward among other things. 


I have not seen anything that actually mentions such an event.  Still it does make for some stirring flats, the flags of which are very well documented so why not.

P.S. The Segom set showing the presentation of flags after Ligny/Quatre Bas is another event that never happened but, it is a clever presentation and looks like a very nice set.
