The visit highlight for this blog, the hall of lead soldiers at the French Army Museum in Paris:
 |
| he had an era named after him of course Napoleon was front and center |
 |
| an immense table display in the center of the hall |
there were so many exhibits that I could
only capture some parts of some of them
The blog system was having troubles uploading so many at a time
that I decided to use fewer images, yet still capture the sense of this
exhibition hall ...
 |
| for a scale comparison, that is a 4 step stair case to the right of the photo |
 |
| simply amazing paper card figures |
 |
| different eras and concepts of miniatures represented |
There was a whole section of amazing shadow box miniature displays of what could be mistaken for paintings.
 |
| not all of the miniatures were only Napoleonic |
 |
| this gives me more incentive to move on with my own flats |
I have decided to upload them all here, so as to not make too many single posts
though this hall could easily been broken into many blog postings
 |
| there was even an Alexander the Great miniature with a most excellent paint job |
If ever I need inspiration, or acceptance, of my own paint work in the future, I shall have this exhibit to look towards.
In the next few posts I shall continue with the French Army Museum visit.
Enjoy your St. Jean Baptiste day!
