In this book you will find the recreation of the Austrian Army during Napoleonic wars with LEGO® Minifigs. Therefore, newly designed hats (also 3d printable) and redesigned front decals representing the corresponding unit were created and used to build colourful rendered tables of the different parts of the Austrian army. In order to round off this, some historical and military background is given, which places the pictures in a proper context and makes them also readable for non historians or teenagers. Nevertheless it was tried to reach some historical accuracy to make that book also usable for war gamers and figure painters.

When I was a young boy I got interested in the uniforms of the Napoleonic war. Once at Christmas time I received the books of Funken which gave a broad overview in an acceptable price range. Later on I purchased a small booklet showing all units of the Prussian army to times of Frederik the Great. Maybe that was the beginning of a first thought to create such a book also of the Austrians during the Napoleonic era.
30 years later, I found the way back to this hobby as a teenager by designing custom elements for LEGO® Minifgs in 3d, which could later be printed with the new 3D printing technology. To get an accurate idea of how these models can look on a Minifig, I tried using the povray render engine to create images that represent the uniforms of that time.
As a matter of fact this was the starting point for this book.
Due to the representation of the units with LEGO®
