yes! and it's just killing me to have it sitting in front of me and to not know which one is which! :)

I just unwrapped my Congreve rocket group and I noticed that the two rockets that come with the launcher look different. One has cord wrapped around the end, the other is a smooth cylinder (you can see the difference on the FL website). I assuming this represents a historical detail, but I...

Can I ask where you got your turf and trees? It looks great, thank you for the photos

Yeah, seriously, I'm gonna cry if my figures start peeling after all I spent on them

SWEET! Thank you! That's exactly what I needed to hear. Gonna get me some red lancers for my desk now...

Good to know there's a place out there for repairs. I tried to straighten a bayonet on one figure and it snapped off entirely, and it was a complete **** show trying to glue it back on. That only cost me $60, but I'm terrified at the idea of trying straighten a lance on a $200 figure. That's...

I’ve noticed in photos from some dioramas, as well as pre-owned figures on eBay, that the lance of some of the red lancer figures appears bent, or rather that the lengths of the lance extend from the hand at slightly different angles. Is this a common problem? I’d love to get a one, but I find...

I've just started watching on ebay, and I'm seeing pre-owned figures go for just $10 less than the price of new ones from FL... or, in the case of a Prussian standard bearer, dramatically more than the original asking price of a discontinued figure. Is this typical? For only $10 off, I'd...

Yeah, I would like some of the more exotic figures from the era. Here's a few ideas: - Mounted-archer Bashkirs from the Russian campaign - Dromedary cavalry from the Eygptian campaign - Balkan irregular infantry in traditional dress - France's black engineers unit from the West Indies - A full...

Not at all. I didn't intend any offense either. I guess I have a hard time imagining things outside of my own experience. I remember painting figures when I played D&D and War Hammer as a teenager. Somehow I imagined that only folk like me would be painting figures. Its a big world though...

Fascinating, I stand corrected. Thanks!

For some reason I imagined that the painting would be the one thing they did in the US. I didn't think that China would have much of a domestic talent pool for painting figures, but I suppose with a billion people they could find some. I wonder if they hired figure painting hobbyists to go...

The box says "Made in China", but does this refer to the box? the metal? the painting?

Nice figure, but you might have run a bit afoul of your commitment to historical realism calling her a Cantiniere... Not that I'm complaining mind you ;)

Amazing, I am so **** jealous it hurts.

Agreed, they're like eye-candy. Ever since I started lining them up on my desk in front of my monitors I can't take my eyes off them. I'm glad I found this site, otherwise I'd think I was the only man in the world who was obsessed with tiny Napoleonic soldiers...

I've just recently become obsessed with collecting Napoleonic figures from FL, and was surprised to see that they made figures for so many different eras. Do people have a sense of what time periods are the most popular? Thanks

Thank you for the suggestions! This helps a lot!

Hello everyone, This is my first post here, and I'd really appreciate any advice you have... I'm trying to build a diorama on my office desk, on a shelf upon which my monitors rest. Does anyone have any knowledge of small LED lights which I could position to highlight the model soldiers? I...
