Well as usual my 'couple of weeks' turned into a couple of months...
After a whole load of decorating followed by Mojo deflation I finally knuckled down to painting these boys- but I had to do a couple of practice heads before I let myself loose on their faces, just to get back in the swing of things. They're still not my best but I need this done now.
Here are all the bits, ready for assembly

thanks for watching

Hi Neil, Napoleon would have loved a few months at Waterloo but never did. You on the other hand are doing fine although your Frenchies are still guillotined and must come together soon. I shall be waiting with the others when you set them on solid ground.

Cheers,

Neil, great work.

Wow thanks very much chaps!
They are almost done now and I've had a little play with the composition, but today I'm visiting my daughter who is hopefully days(or maybe even hours) away from delivering our fifth grandchild, so I can't post them yet .
Thanks again for the great comments and encouragement.

[Neil Merryweather]

Well, grandchild no 5 is taking her time so I have been able to finish the boys off.
