[Peter Reuss]

Wonderful! Thanks for saving them for us.

 

[Shannon Reuss]

Thanks for posting them--I wasn't having any luck finding them.
Hey Sceic2--you must have a whole new scene up by now--how about some pictures?

Peter.

I have saved quite alot of the photo's that members have posted of their collections. I think that it is a great way to share a hobby such as this.

Regards

Jeff

Peter,

I've only been collecting for 2 years and I only collect Napoleonics. I must admit I have never had them on display. When I started buying them, I didn't think I would get that many of them and so I never considered the space needed to display Napoleonics in largish formations. So mine remain stored away until I win the lottery and can build a west wing on to the mansion I haven't got yet

Do any of the other Napoleonic collectors actually display their whole collection? I haven't seen too many photos of the K&C Naps in any large numbers..

I don,t have the numbers of K&C figures that Michael has but I do have all the K&C figures in matte finnish released to date and also like to do diorama type set-ups but don,t have any room to leave them set-up so I just put together a quick diorama and take a few pictures and put it all back away again. I have some of the early releases in a display case in the living room but not in a diorama. I want to do some more diorama displays with my K&C figures in the near future but there all packed away all over the place.

When I get a good weekend to myself I,ll try and do a large diorama including most or all of my K&C figures displayed all together, til then here are some of my early sets-ups I did with my K&C figures.

Hey Sceic2--you must have a whole new scene up by now--how about some pictures?

I will try to get some new pictures this weekend.

The poll has a great many options for answering but I could not find one category that fits what I do.

I now have two British squares. One of the 42nd Highlanders with 175 figures on my coffee table and a 71st Light with 160 figures and two Horse Artillery sets on top of the Television.

I moved the remainder of my K&C Napoleonics (about 750) to a Howard Miller Cabinet with my John Jenkins and Frontline crusaders and mounted knights. It's in the dining room.

I keep my K&C, Britians, Honour Bound, New Model Army, and Patriot WWII vehicles and figures in two very large Howard Miller "Village" cabinets in my living room.

In one of my bedrooms I keep my FOV and Minichamps vehicles in a 1500 CD media wall storage case and my 21st Century in a 1000 CD media wall storage case. In the same room I have four large dioramas for my 8th Army, DAK, Battle of Berlin, and D-Day invasion beach vehicles and men.

I love to have them around me so that I can see them everyday and everywhere I look. The only rooms that don't have any are the kitchen and my bedroom, but that's guna happen, its unavoidable with all the new releases that we are getting.

I Have to date five display cabinets totaling 24 shelves,Two cabinets are dioramas only,one cabinet parade only, one with single armoured units,and the last with the Dept 56 Bethlehem collection..ern

I have displays and dios. I try to bring them all out on display. Large display cabinet and a smaller one then shelves. They are slowly gaining momentum in the display areas of my apartment.

 

[Halo]

I have three curio cabinets (20 shelves), all full of K&C items. Whenever friends and family come over, they always check out the new items.

Well all I can say to the overwhelming Napoleonic response is..

...I am much humbled..!

Although, suddenly I feel less broke!!

Pete, Shannon - many thanks for your help in drumming up some photos!

Jeff, Tim - Thanks heaps for sharing those photos! They look fantastic! Jeff that must be a massive dio with all that massed French infantry? I struggle to keep up with all of the releases, I thought I was doing well amassing 300 combined cavalry and infantry, but I see I have a long way to go..

You guys rock! Have a great and safe Easter all!!

I bought three glass/wooden cabinets to store my K&C D-Day, Waffen SS, LAH, Battle of the Bulge, Afrika Korps and Fields of Battle miniatures.. But like all off us, I should have to build a second house to put them in nice dioramas where they belong..

Greetings,

Ranger

I have a really good sized collection of napoleonics but they are not all K&C. I have lots of britains,frontline,del prado,niena and lots of others also including castings and plastics also. I like to paint and convert figures and have painted up many casting including the great russains that forum member FUBAR makes which I love. Here are just some of my many napoleonics.

[fishead19690]

Here are some pictures of fubars russain castings that I painted up. I still have a bunch more that are half painted that I,ve got to finnish painting.
He also sells these already painted up on ebay and the paint jobs are great and a real good value for the money.

 

[fishead19690]

This is just some of my collection, I have many more and have posted more of it here on the forum somewhere on here and hope to do more dioramas with the many other figures that I have when I get more free time to myself.
Lets keep the napoleonic dioramas coming guys!!! Fubar has also post some incredible napoleonic dioramas that you should check out, there huge!!!

 

[kilted vampire]

Man tim you have like the whole armee. Very Cool! I was going to say sometimes I take pictures of my soldiers and post them on a toy soldier forum. Ever hear of it?

 

[modwalls]

Tim your Dio's are great. I never understood the Nap War, but the way they fought and calvary charges are cool. I think you got the uniforms down to a science. Nice paint jobs. The new K&C stuff looks great. With what you can do with conversions, I hope Conte puts out a Nap series in the future. Great pics, Mike.

Does Conte have any children I can kidnap and hold hostage till we can get him to make some plastic napoleonics! I said it before and I,ll say it again,If he would come out with napoleonic as good as those G.I.s and with as many poses it would be pure heaven!
