Wellington and some generic Peninsular generals

[Bill Slavin]

Anyone who collects 1/72 Napoleonic miniatures knows that British and Portuguese staff figures are hard to come by.
Eager to try my hand at creating a figure for Wellington, I committed the greatest heresy possible and decided to use a mounted Napoleon figure from the Italeri French command set as my starting point! I went on to convert some other figures to generic British generals as well.

If you are curious you can see the whole process here at my blog:

There is a real scarcity of British staff officers but you've filled the gap very nicely here. Good conversions and great painting, the horses look really good. And it must be very satisfying to have such an individual looking Wellington.

I have no knowledge of historical correctness.
You can show me everything if it look like Nappy time.

But painting of the figures,horses with all these fine details and the bases with flowers are fantastic done !
