Help ! Napoleon's Coach

[peedee]

Hi folks.
I remember reading in an article some years ago all about napoleon's coach.

The photos I still remember as black and white, and included interior views taken
through the open nearside door.

I think it may have been in either Military Modelling or even Military Illustrated.

I would love to see these again.

Does anyone else remember this please?
Thank you for reading this
Paul

I have a vague recollection, wasn't the coach destroyed in a fire at Madame Tussauds?

I think I recall an article in Campaigns too.

Indeed. Let me look through my old copies, I might still have it. If I remember correctly, it shows the full interior of the coach as well.

I found it, and scanned the article. Not as lengthy or detailed as I remembered it (I believe that I confused it a bit with the old Military Modelling spot), but useful nonetheless.

PM me Paul with your email address, and I will send the article to you.

Cheer.

I remember that John Schley made a model of the interior.

That's very impressive Victor and a fascinating glimpse into a 'branch' of our
hobby that we don't see enough of imo
Thanks a lot for that

Historex Agents, Dover, are selling their version at £20 at the moment, instead of £42,25. It was researched by the late,great Eugene Leiepvre, artist to the French Army.

Oooooooh ta.
I very well may,
I have the other wagons, they are wonderfully egineered.
I think he was inspired by M'sieur Gribauval. All the fittings,
verything works tips swivels etc as the original, the only thing
missing is the snorts and warm breath of the 'orses
Thanks A LOT.
