Thought you might like to see a few pictures I took whilst playing around with some of Tony Barton's AMAZING miniatures. I know there are not many 18mm fans out there and fewer still into Napoleonics but for those of you who are here goes.

The story goes something like this......June 15 1815, northeast of Charleroi, southern Belgium, Napoleon arrives from Páris unobserved by the Allies as the beginning of the end of a remarkable 'Hundred Days' is about to unfold. Three battles in three days.

Here is the man himself on the eve of Ligny with a few trusted Foot and Horse Chasseurs of his Imperial Guard....

One of the best Napoleon Figures I saw. I wish there would be one in 1/72. Painting is also a great job - important to say!

you did an excellent likeness of The Emperor :cheers:

I like your painting style. It's very subtle and realistic. It also fits perfectly with the miniatures. :-)

Great paint job!! How do these compare to 20mm, sizewise? I know they're 18mm, but still....... Maybe you can show a side by side with a 20mm fig?

Thanking you all kindly gents for your replies. Sorry Paul that I didn't answer your query about comparing AB's to Hats but now that DBinO has reminded me let's kill the two birds with one stone.
Here are some Hats alongside ABs.
Sorry ain't got painted versions of same regiment in different scales but feel sure the unpainted figures will suffice. Even sorrier that these 18mms seem like 15mms compared to 1/72 ie total incompatibility! :cry:

Posted by **Paul** on 04 Nov 2010, 17:15

Bloody hell!! :shock:

There is a "minor" size difference eh?

Posted by **Tantallon2** on 04 Nov 2010, 17:41

These are really nice: great poses, great detailing and great painting :thumbup:

Posted by **dutchboyinohio** on 05 Nov 2010, 00:54

Thanks for posting the size comparison. They sure look a lot smaller. Makes your paint job that much more impressive!! :thumbup:
