You DON'T need a lot of any one unit to get the "story" across with these! Nice! Thanks for sharing.

What a fantastic collection OD. Thanks for sharing it with us. I like the use of mirrors to make your collection seem larger than it is, a feature I have also used

 

[OldDragon]

.. not enough.

Seriously .. I haven't kept count, what you see below is about perhaps a quarter my numbers, which I have actually put together in a dio style display. I have posted other pics of Napoleon's camp with parade cavalry & Imperial Guards elsewhere on the K&C section.

I have also posted pics of French cavalry "charging" a composite British and Blackwatch square ... in the JJD section.

For a lack of larger shelves, the K&C's 71st Highlanders, the RHA (2 guns), the Russians, FL's French line infantry/artillery and Patriots are displayed in their own little groups presently.

One day .. I hope to be able to put them all together is a 6' by 10' table sized display

Thanks for the photos OD. You have put together a very nice battle vignette and without the hundreds of figures some seem to think are needed to create an impressive display for this period. Of course a little ground cover would make them even more impressive. I look forward to seeing more of your scenes.

 

[OldDragon]

Thanks for the feedback ... already have trees and more terrain stuff on the way.

Anticipating reinforcements for the BlackWatch too When received, hope to post pics of new display.

One of my favorite periods to collect. I love the massed columns and the pomp and circumstance of the period. Colorful uniforms, multiple unit choices, drums, band, great inspirational music, my favorite " Waterloo "movie, what's not to love about collecting these guys. All of my Nappy's are from 1 company. I collect 6 man marching sets, usually 4 man cavalry and artillery with crew, all made by Mulberry Miniatures out of England. ACW is first love ,Nappy's second at this point in time..Michael

Is that the "Waterloo" with Christopher Plummer and Rod Stieger? I love that show...especially the overhead shots of the British squares being attacked by the French Cavalry.

Napoleonics are probably my favorite figures to collect. Iv'e got an 1812-1815 French, British, Russian, Prussian, Austrian and Bavarian army in my collection.

I figure between the 6 armies, close to 5,000 figures..................all in 20mm, my scale of choice so I can do massive battle dioramas...........

Don't want no Americans George?

Not really a huge fan of the war of 1812, although there is a company that makes metal 20mm War of 1812 Americans. You know, if I buy afew just to check them out, maybe I'll get into the War of 1812......................fast forward six months from now; "ok, I now have 1,000 War of 1812 Americans too thanks to Mark...............lol"

 

[marco55]

You're very welcome George.

[Warrior]

No problem; if I take the plunge, I'll let you know..........

Boy George, a 1000 here, a 1000 there, pretty soon you will have the full Battle of Nations' battle order; or do you already?

I myself prefer the individual figures for the Napoleonic period. I usually only buy a few of each release to so the uniforms. I haven't done a diorama yet.
