This is a walk down memory lane for me having painted a full set of all the Airfix Batlle of Waterloo (1815) figures which were originally produced in the late 1960s through to 70s. This set A50048 of model soldiers was produced in 2008 and it was my chance to fulfil my childhood goal of painting them all and then having a wargame/boardgame with them
Here I walk through each of the sets issued including
The Farmhouse
Farmyard Figures
British Artillery
British Cavalry Hussars
British Infantry
French Artillery
French Cavalry
French Imperial Guards
French Infantry
Highland Infantry
Prussian Infantry
I thought publishing this aligned to the Ridley Scott film Napoleon in 2023, starring Joaquin Phoenix was quite a coincidence......although hopefully this makes a little more sense than his version
