Many people I know, think I'm a big fan of Napoleon since I'm interested in the Napoleonic Wars: well I am NOT! I am a staunch Wellingtonian. That said I can not escape making a command stand for all of my Napoleonic Armies in time. Therefore I also need a stand depicting Napoleon and his staff, final stimulation to do just that was the release of the great Zvezda set of the French general staff. The set itself doesn't include a figure of Napoleon but I had an Italeri spare figure lying around. Here are the pictures I took from the completed stand.
Front view:
Side views:
back view:
The uniform the Emperor wears here is not that spectacular since it's mostly covered by his greatcoat, but it's the Grenadier's of the Guard Colonel's coat I tried to depict.
Some close ups:
My camera died on me and ever since I have been using my wife's camera. Somehow all the pics I take with it end up over exposed, can't seem to find the right settings.
Well I am overjoyed this monstrous little project is finished and in the showcase, on to the next one!
Cheers Sander

Very, very nice Sander! Great hat!
ReplyDeleteI think it's quite beautiful, nicely done Sander/
ReplyDeleteIt looks smashing. The only thing I don't like about Napoleonic s is the bickering on forums.
ReplyDeleteLovely work, Sander! Is the Old Guard officer a head conversion?
ReplyDeleteThat's your big cheese ticket off, well done!!!
ReplyDeleteI still have him staring at me from my lead pile!
Well done with this stand!
ReplyDeletethanks for all the kind words! At mr Rosbif: the grenadier officer is indeed a conversion, the body is from Italeri and the head is from Zvezda.
ReplyDeleteSorry I did not see this sooner. Excellent!
