Napoleon in Egypt

Wargames Illustrated's latest 'Giants in Miniature' model is old Boney himself, but not so old.

Lovely  :-* :-*

I'm just reading Simon Scarrows book about the pair of them and it's getting incredibly difficult not to start a Napoleonic project  ::)

Nice sculpt, though the legs appear to be a bit short and make the figure look somewhat squat (lest someone quips that Bonaparte was something of a hobbit in real life, he actually was a man of average to slightly above average height for his time).

Yeah, he's a dumpy wee fella, but the 'Giants in Miniature' range is not about historical accuracy, so much as literary or screen representation of historical figures.
