Just wondering how personalised you can make them in 10mm, then remembering that I have recognisable Wellington and Napoleon in my Irregular 6mm stuff.

Come on...Let's see 'em, then.....'Bout time you showed us some of your soldiers. ;)

Oh, Ian...... ;)

I was supposedly a profeshnial (sic) photographer  =O =O =O =O when I worked for the Evil Empire in the late eighties to the early nineties.
I've said it umpteen times before....You should see the rushed 'snaps' I send to 'Sir', so he can have a gander at what I'm doing, as far as the 'green' masters are concerned.

I'll bet you're a damn sight better than you think you are.

My very good friend Nobby conned us all in saying that "He couldn't paint."

That was a load of poop !

You know that all the folk here are MORE than encouraging. :)

Thanks for the feedback, much appeciated.  The current thinking is a 3-figure pack of ADCs or senior officer types, for the:

- British
- French
- Prussian
- Spanish

We've had some good info for French options (including WeeWars busby chap!) and Spanish in this thread, but if you've got any pics of suitable British and Prussian ADCs/senior officers/generals, it'll save a bit of time with the sculptor.  We'll make sure that they're not waving hats about as well, so we'll use telescopes, maps, etc to give them some authority!

Telescopes rather than binoculars, or is my historical database incomplete?

That'd be a better idea wouldn't it!  Maybe I'm not at 100% just yet...!

Fixed it now.

Just a couple of suggestions;

Guard Engineer Officer in helmet as part of staff group ?
Napoleons headquarters Ordnance Officer.
British ADC doffing his bicorne hat / using his bicorne hat to point.
British ADC hand on hip arrogant pose.
