I think I picked up this mini at a Salute show about 10 years ago. It just resurfaced, in my lead locker, recently. I am sure that many of you have the same figure, both painted and unpainted. link At least that is one I don't have to worry about. One down, scary amount to go.

It does raise the question "How many Napoleons are enough?". I am sure I have enough to make a small battalion. |

A battalion of Napoleons? Lets see, 1 is woth 40 000 soldiers. So 500 is worth 20 000 000 soldiers. Damn that army would be hard to beat, an army the size of the poplulation of The nederlands |

I gave one Napoleon away to a friend when I was in the UK. Now I only have six in 28mm. Quite modest by wargaming standards. I thought it would be interesting to post this lad because 4,000 odd people got the model at whichever Salute show it was. I wonder how many ever got painted up. |

IIRC this was a figure sculpted by one of the Perry twins to raise money for charity and was sold by Foundry in limited numbers. |

Thanks. I may have bought this one when I made a Foundry order in 1999. |

In addition to this 25mm, there's at least one 15mm version of this particular pose; I can't remember the company, but it came together with a standing figure of Gen. Bonaparte which, like several other figures in the range, seemed rather short in the torso. |

Very nice- I have the same fig, unpainted, so this is a good nudge to start painting! |

As I recall, Six Napoleons proved sufficient. |

Nice job Neil. I plan to start painting my copy of this model this weekend. I'll probably blog the results when they're done. Regards, Seb |
