NA064 brings a gun and three dismounted artillerymen into the Napoleonic range. The green carriage and bright barrel are attractive, but the crew’s working positions make it a subject worth examining from behind as well as in front.
The light horse and blue-clad musician make NA043 stand out from the green-coated dragoons. The raised instrument adds an audible role to the group and gives collectors a striking comparison of dress within a single cavalry arm.
NA042 interrupts the rhythm of the French dragoon group. The horse folds forward and the rider pitches over it, turning a mounted action figure into a study of sudden loss of control.
NA040 lifts a decorated guidon above a moving horse. It gives the dragoon group a visual centre and shows how a small piece of cloth could carry an importance far beyond its size.
The officer’s extended sword points in the same direction as his moving horse. NA039 uses that simple alignment to make command visible, with green clothing and a crested helmet placing the figure firmly within the French dragoon group.
The brown apron and broad axe distinguish NA030 from the other 71st figures before the regimental headgear comes into focus. It is a practical subject that expands a collection beyond firing and loading poses.
A bareheaded British officer stands between two French soldiers in NA029. The dropped equipment and the questioning figure make it one of the early range’s most effective conversations in miniature.
A long apron and an axe identify NA028 more clearly than his plume. This marching pioneer brings a practical trade into the French infantry group: clearing and opening the way rather than simply carrying another musket.
NA026 gives Napoleon a quieter setting than a charging army. A standing attendant offers fruit to the grey horse, making the relationship between ruler, servant and animal the centre of the vignette.
A rearing horse, a tall plume and richly decorated clothing make NA023 one of the most animated command figures in the early Napoleonic range. Its appeal lies in the contrast between an officer’s formal dress and an animal that refuses to look static.
