A couple of months ago, I hatched the scheme of photographing my entire collection for insurance purposes. I didn't really get the idea off the ground for a variety of reasons. However, finding myself with an idle hour yesterday, I set out my Napoleonic British army and photographed the lot. Half catalogue, half parade, I found it a very soothing experience and one that I would heartily recommend. You can find pictures of M'Lord Wellington's forces here. link |

Good grief, sir! I'm not sure you have enough troops… |

Those are impressive forces. I particularly liked this picture where the chap in the middle looks like he is about to decapitate the chap next to him with his sabre:

I'm a little frightened of what will happen when I lay out my French. My British army is my small army, as they are usually the heroes of the piece. This could get seriously out of hand… |

Great aray of troops Conrad Looking forward to more of these parades! |

Great job on your part, and very inspiring. I've been thinking of holding a grand review on the dining room table one of these evenings when the wife is out. This may just provide the push I needed.

Yes, troop reviews are a wonderful thing. My Prussian army of 28 squadrons of cavalry, 12 battalions of infantry, 1 light jager battalion and 8 field guns in the artillery park. link

i've done this a few times in the last 30 years. Photo a division at a time (or brigade if need be). It's handy to just go to your computer to see whats done, needs to be done. |

Sorry I thought we were talking current affairs for a moment: "Mustering the British army" In a phone box? |

Impressive looking – that and Fritz' photos make me think about laying out my SYW troopers |

Always great to see complete or rather full collections. You don't see many posted that often. Thanks for posting. |

Now if I ever have Der Alte Fritz's table AND 15mm armies painted to those 28mm standards, I'll be in serious trouble :) |

I really like that old school collection too Conrad. Thanks for posting them. |

Fritz the S.O. saw your photo and said, "There's a guy who's not married."
I'll try to correct that impression. |

"My Prussian army of 28 squadrons of cavalry, 12 battalions of infantry, 1 light jager battalion and 8 field guns in the artillery park." Well, my French are a bit bigger in No. of Squadrons and Battalions…but c 1/4 of the manpower (Age of Reason rules) :) Must say looking at those BIG scale armies I think I should double up on scale at least, but its a daunting task for Lace Wars troops (vs say WW1 etc). |

Gentlemen, The latest installment of the parade is now up, showing the light cavalry and some more the line. link Regards, Kinch |
demonstrates how anyone can get in on sculpting for fun...
