   Hi,

One of my colleague (not an AFOL) is a great fan of Napoleon. As he knows about my strange hobby (“laygoz”), he asked me a MOC some months ago.

I’m not a great or prolific builder (and I feel good with that) so I took a look at Allan Bedford’s book for some ideas.

The miniland people in chapter 4 caught my eyes so I had a try at a miniland scale Napoleon and decided to make (another) building instruction to share it :

PS : MisaQa great hair style for miniland charachter is also very inspirating , be sure to check her BS gallery : http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=MisaQa

PPS : I haven’t been able to find a more suitable FUT group, if build.minilandscale doesn’t exist, it should be created.

Good stuff, Didier! Thanks for sharing - I’m a big Napoleon fan as well. I have a print of David’s Napoleon Crossing the Alps hanging in my dining room. Was your depiction based on a particular image of Napoleon?

It’s a shame that his right hand is hiding the red and white shirt (vest?). Perhaps you could extend that bit another stud upwards so that they are visible above the hand.
