They are beautiful, works of art really.
Hope to acquire all of the mounted NAPS.

That is a beautiful figure. FL's mounted pieces are fantastic. Great pics too I might add, preferable over FL's stock photos which I don't like very much.

WOW!!! You have amassed a fantastic collection of FL! I particularly like the mounted pieces, especially the French. I think you've sold me on these! Debtors prison here I come!

Thanks Joe for the complement on the photos, but it's pretty easy to show at least some of the paint and sculpting detail of these fantastic mounted figures.
For the photos I am using an old second generation Nikon Coolpix with the figures arranged on a white science fair project board at the foot of bed. I am holding a LED flood light in one hand and camera in the other hand, resting on project board. I always did like the quality of the lens on this camera.
I had the original Pavia sets from when they were released. Much later I obtained the Glory of Rome sets and lately the other sets.
I was blown away by the mounted NAP figures – the sculpting beauty of the horse, the detail of rider and their hardware and the paint.
I collect from 500 BC to 1945 so when a new range is released and done well like Pavia, Macedonian and Agincourt it’s great that I can include these battles and time periods in my collection.

Donnie, You're very welcome and thank you for sharing the crystal clear pics. You have found a great recipe for capturing FL's artistry in images. I too am blown away by the NAP figures, so much so that I had to buy the mounted Saxon officer even though I don't collect NAPS!
I have Alexander and two of his companions and will likely be adding some of those stellar French knights you photographed to my growing FL collection. I used to be more of K & C collector but for various reasons I find myself drawn more and more to FL as time passes.
Thanks again and enjoy that wonderful collection of yours!!
