Command post for the emperor
If Wellington has a tree, then in my opinion Napoleon deserves a windmill at least. So, I’ve knocked up this Dapol kit of a windmill (made from the moulds of the original Airfix one).

I do hope it's not a windy day or the First Empire may come to speedy, if somewhat messy, end.
I have one of these , a cracking model ! .
Rob - don't worry, it's a very calm day!
Good Soldier - nice mode but a bit fiddly to make. I left off the stairs as I thought they would be likey to break in the heat of battle!
It must be the season of the mills (with apologies to Donovan). A super model.
Best Regards,

Wonderful model Ian, I have not seen or heard of it before.
I put them on and guess what they broke off !
Eee, it takes you back. One of these graced my Dad's railway. Good move to remove the Emperor's Stairway to Heaven, though.
Hi IAN- Yes, the old AIRFIX Windmill -now produced by DAPOL is a beaut and certainly well suited to your European Theater. It is a great model. Cheers. KEV.
Thanks for the comments, I'm glad the windmill is a hit even if the miller will have problems accessing it!
Yes but which Hinton Hunt figure would make the best Windy Miller? My choice would be SN51 Spanish muleteer.
I never knew Napoleon had a personal helicopter. So that's how he got home from Moscow.
Very nicely done, Ian!
Clive, it could work with the addition of a green stuff smock. Mind you, these days there's a whole different connotation to the name 'Trump-ton'- I believe the mayor has authorised the building of a wall to keep out the Smurfs.
Vallejo Sunny Skin Tone has a suitably orange hue
This will be great as the Fleurus windmill Ian.
I look forward to the report of your coming game.
Thanks James, its first outing will be as Bussy Mill at Ligny!
