Toy Soldier Collector Tête de Colonne

Tête de Colonne


Australian writer, and modeller, John O’Brien tells how he created his own unique version of Napoleon’s Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard

When I restarted collecting toy soldiers 10 years ago, I was attracted to the traditional style of pose of the marching on-parade figure, and I decided to amass some small armies of my own to form up in ranks and files. My main historical interest was in the 1750-1815 periods, encompassing the Seven Years War, American and French Revolution, and the Napoleonic Wars. This was mainly because of the vast array of colourful uniforms that the various armies wore into battle during that period.
