A RARE collection of model soldiers is to be auctioned on Teesside this month.
Each of the hand-painted figures is a model soldier from the ranks of the British, Austrian, and Russian armies during the Napoleonic wars.
The miniatures include vignettes and rare figures depicting famous military leaders.
The figures are being sold by toy specialists Vectis Auctions at Thornaby on February 10.
