That really is good , these posts are tempting me to have a bash at doing a large scale group with the Perry figures |

Thank you all! @welly: there sure tons of nice minis for these kinds of groups from the twins. |

I like it. One question. Are you going to use this for a game? If so, won't the thicker base size look odd against the other troops? |

It is meant for game play. Not sure how it will look with others on the table, but since I suspect that palyers will keep Bapoleon out of the thick of it, it should not be much of a problem. And even if they do… the elevation might actually underline his status. |

Wow really neat idea for the base. Looking forward to the next step. |

Nice piece, I must admit I enjoy doing scenic pieces, I've done it with some of my ACW stuff, there are certain pieces that just cry out for little (or lot) extra just to do them justice! Nice work thanks for sharing. |
