Thank you, Richard. While SEGOM produced a set of the trophies of Waterloo, another disputed event, they did also  produce the trophies of Austerlitz. I have both sets.

 Hello Ed,
The SEGOM series represents the french trophies of Waterloo and not those of Austerlitz.

General Discussion / Austerlitz Trophies
« Last post by Ed Humphreys on April 18, 2025, 01:35:06 PM »
I am working on the SEGOM set of the trophies of Austerlitz being presented to Napoleon, and hope to put them into a boxed diorama. SEGOM released the set with a very useful guide and a colour illustration, and there have been discussions about the actual colours taken in various publications, including our own Journal. General Andolenko is often quoted as a reliable source.
I do however have one question. Did the event depicted in the set (and the earlier Scholtz one) actually take place? I can find no reference to it happening in my library. The earlier set has General Rapp, with his head wound and broken sabre, presenting the colours to Napoleon, and in my copy of his memoir, Rapp describes meeting the Emperor after the battle, but makes no mention of the event depicted in two sets of flats. If it did happen, was it immediately after the battle, or the following day? Would it have been at Napoleon's headquarters, or elsewhere on the field? Rapp does not feature in the SEGOM set, which has Napoleon accompanied by Junot in an impressive hussar uniform
Does anyone have any definite evidence it actually happened? Even if it didn't, it is too good a set to let the historical truth stand in the way of a colourful diorama. I would be grateful for any information or suggestions. Any answer quoting Ridley Scott would NOT be welcome.
Many thanks,
Ed H

Looks like the set is competed.  Well done, really like the females incorporated into the scene.  Excellent paint work!
