Very nice figures. Good choice of poses, although I don't see a guy swinging his musket as a club. Gee, what a shame. Sarcasm off. Anyway, as nice as these are, at that price, I cannot buy these guys. Simply cannot afford almost $4 a figure. The thing is, I have never liked the bardin...

I am Middleguard and I approve this battle scene. The non-Napoleonic fellows are not noticable at the distance you shot the pics from. They look close enough anyway and fill up the ranks. Nice use of the limited space. The piled up dead are a fine effect, and again from a distance, the poses of...

Also as to HaT, My hobby is toy soldiers. I cannot even figure out how to sign in on their 1/32 blog site so I couldn't have even ordered any austrians if I had wanted to. I am not a computer genius, in fact I hate the computer for the reason i just listed and I am not interested in learning how...

In HaTs defence, they did have this discussion on their 1/32 forum board for a while some time back. They were taking suggestions on what sets to make and how to make them. They had plenty of comments and a lively discussion among the participants. Seems to me that they tried to make a set...

Yes, the picture size thing is confusing. Here's the thing. The guy that rented me the building to do my giant battle has been doing renovations and he split up the room I was using into more than one room. So that spot is no longer available. He's a business guy and he has to do what's good...

Good to see you painting again. I am trying to determine the different manufacturers that you have together. I see a lot of HaT and Timpo. After that I think I see ACTA and then I'm guessing after that. The up close pictures show some good detailing but it is nice to see the volume of a unit...

I agree with your opinion on the subject of Hat doing a lot of smaller kingdom armies. That being said, The headgear of the barvarians and wurttumbergers was immpossible to convert without costly metal purchases. So I was happy to buy several boxes of the marching and action poses of each...

That's some well detailed paint work on a fine subject matter. How long does it take to paint a single figure in that style and how many years of painting did it take for you to achive that level of ability?

Even though I enjoy painting toy soldiers I really appriciate a well laid out set up with minimal painting and accessories. This is a reminder of all the toy soldier playing I did as a kid. Thanks for the flashback.

As per your suggestions I spent a week painting these guys for sale on ebay as a French line infantry battalion. There are 20 figures with 8 fusiliers, and 4 each grenadiers, voltigeurs and command. Thanks for the suggestions.

Wonderful. Simple but effective. You get what toy soldiers are all about. I'll be going to youtube later and will check out the movie.

Thanks for the replies. I am not going to afix the figures to bases as there is so much variety to war game rules. I was only concerned with selling them in groups that gamers would be interested in so as to not have too many leftover figures or to be short only a few to complete a unit...

To those of you who wargame the Napoleonic wars in 1/32 scale I ask, How many figures do you use per unit for the rules that you use? What size units are used and how many figures to represent each unit? Also what is the make up of a unit? In that I mean how many officers, drummers/buglers...

My biggest miss with the Timpo line was the lack of Napoleonic French line infantry. They made the British line and highlanders but only French Imperial guard figures. Even at that the guard figures are not in correct uniform. The Prussian infanrty is very useful as earlier Russian infantry...

Thanks for all the replies, information and links. jac28 I assume these are in your possession. Could you fill me in on a few things? Are these one piece figures like the Black Cat Napoleonic Russians that are pre-assembled but made from separate parts to get a fully rounded pose, or do I have...

I received my LOD Enterprises Postcard in the mail yesterday. It has a picture of their first ever set on the back side. The War at Troy. I went to their website which shows their set and the contents. It, however, doesn't give any details about the size and the pictures are too small to...

In keeping with the myth and monster themes, how about a couple of sets of different pantheons of historical mythical gods. Odin Thor and Loki, Ra and company, Zeus and his associates, and group of titans, heroes of ancient Greece. I used to take the happy meal toys which towered over knights...

Impressive. Both in sheer numbers and in variety. I salute you, sir, on your fine collection and display case.

Could you show a larger picture of the item and have a figure next to it for a size comparison? I don't have too many Barzso accessories but maybe I would be inclined to buy some if they interested me.

Nice attention to detail with the one eye open and eye closed for the firing guys.
