Cuirassier Charge at Eylau, 1807 (5 Viewers)

[Iron Duke]

Just a small scene I whipped up. Recycled my ''Bulge'' diorama, I see it as a space and cost effective way to show different battles{sm4}. I was going to photograph something for ''Australia Day'' which is tommorow. Turns out the closest thing to an Australian I have is WWI Tommy! So here it is..The Charge at Eylau, both Old Guard and Cuirassier. As a side not, what is your favourite Napoleonic unit?

Imperial Guard and Black Watch - childhood toys made by Airfix now replaced by King and Country versions.

A very tough one - the 95th Rifles are probably just ahead of the Scots Greys and a few others???

Sharpie and his chosen men of the 95th Rifles!

Mamelukes charging at Austerlitz!

I've heard rumours about new French cavalry from K&C, do you think this could be it? Or will it be lancers, or more cuirassier?

The Polish Lancers at Waterloo! "The Scots Greys may be the finest cavalry in Europe but will match them with our Lancers"

As far as I know the rumor is about the horse grenadiers and I hope it's true (and still hoping for some mamelukes too :wink2. We have enough lancers and cuirassiers!

Splendid pics Iron Duke, been good to see your collection since you joined{bravo}} They are great French cavalry figures and remind me of the Airfix plastic 1/72 I had as a kid way back when, happy days!

From purely the TS perspective its hard to go past any cavalary unit for sheer impact and colour.....from a Napoleonic perspective the choice has to be split between the Scots Greys and the Cold Stream Guards....................the sun never sets on the Empire!

They can add up though can't they? One of the reasons I stayed away from WW 2 figures was my feeling that the cost of vehicles would make it prohibitive. But as you say, the cavalry is quite magnificent, but eight or nine figures and its eight hundred dollars.

Very good dio, regrettably only bought a few K&C Naps, they always seemed very well made. great flick of the battle scene. Thanks
