Re: Summer pilgrimage
Unfortunately I didn't make any picture of the factory... sorry! 
But I have the pics of the wonderful Waterloo diorama. I'm gonna upload them later.

Re: Summer pilgrimage
Hallo!
Finally here are the pictures (I apologize for the delay: problems with imagevenue so I had to use another site. I hope it works fine)
The big diorama (4x8 metres) is made of 15000 metal figures casted with Prince August kits; it has a room reserved and the visit costs 7,00 euro per person, or 10,00 for a group; a member of the staff guides and gives you some brief explanation of the battle, in which lots of irish men fought recruited in regiments in the british army... and Wellington was irish too!
A brief guide
The battlefield
The French Infantry assaults the British lines
The British lines
Scotts Greys
La Haye Saint Farm: win it and win the battle!
Wellington and the British squares
Ney's big mistake: the Marshal charges the British squares
“La victoire est à nous!”, Napoleon orders the Guard to assault
But on the French right flank…
…Blucher arrives!
A last attempt to stop the Prussians.
