The Tradition of London Napoleonic range is the classic toy soldier in its truest form — 54mm white-metal figures, hand-painted in brilliant gloss enamel and boxed in the Tradition Classic Red Box. The collection brings the armies of the Napoleonic Wars to life as multi-figure sets. On the French side stand the Emperor Napoleon and his Imperial Guard, the line infantry and artillery, and the foreign regiments that marched for France — Swiss, Irish, and the yellow-coated Neuchâtel battalion. Facing them is Wellington at Waterloo with the British — the Foot Guards, the line, the 92nd Gordon Highlanders, the 95th Rifles, the Royal Artillery and the Rocket Troop — and at sea, Nelson with the Royal Navy and Marines of Trafalgar.

Each set is hand-painted for display and built to combine — the marching columns, firing lines, gun batteries, colour parties and command groups assemble into a full Waterloo or Trafalgar diorama. The high-gloss finish is the traditional toy-soldier look, distinct from the matte ranges and a little smaller in stature. Whether you collect single sets or build a sweeping diorama, these are gloss-painted, hand-finished pieces for the serious Napoleonic collector.
