I got a chance to take a few snaps of one of Capt. Siborne's Waterloo models today. This is the smaller of the two he made, with 20mm figures. I believe it was finished in 1848. The model is now housed at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. I've seen it many times but recently, some restoration work has been done and they have mounted a few damaged figures on a small display for visitors to get a closer look at.
The models were cast with separate arms and heads so that each one is unique. There are six and a half thousand of them.
