No, these beauties are First Legion buildings, TER 004, 005 and 006, they bring the famous Prussian assault on Plancenoit painting to life, where the divisions of Hiller, Ryssel and Tippelskirch overcame the young guard and the 1st Battalions of the 2nd Grenadiers and 2nd Chasseurs....................

Thanks Bill; these shots are from the Freeport Long Island show, right before a chap came along and bought all three buildings and most of the Prussians, glad I snapped the picture when I did...........

Sorry, I only have 48 feet of display space and sometimes manufacturers, era's, scales, etc, etc, overlap........................

That is OK, I was kind of wondering what the comparisons were with the other lines. I just thought that it was a great "find what doesn't belong" idea. It is a great display.

Sort of like "where's waldo?"................but to be honest, I should do a better job of seperating manufacturers, which I will be doing in 2010 at the shows................

You could, but I think that it was fine. It was the right era and like I said, I was wondering about the scale. I collect Napoleonics and would like to collect War of 1812 also, especially if they fit well with First Legion.

Merry Christmas

Great eye and thank you mate. I am surprised anyone can recognize it from the compressed crop I had to make for the avatar. Now this is a scene I would dearly LOVE to be able to recreate with First Legion figures. I think it would look pretty fine on one of George's tables too but he would need more room. Listening Matt?????!!!!!!!!

 

[DCN1898]

It would be a great subject for a diorama.

Love that painting; something about Napoleonic artwork which we've discussed numerous times.

I'm up for that Bill, it's up to Mr Matt to make the figures is all there is to it.....................

I really liked the Troiani/Conte sets. I have a few of the Troiani prints and the small diorama's with the bases were great. I wish that they would have done more. I guess that First Legion could make a base for their command sets I wonder if the sets would sell?
