overwhelming army, incredible out put

Spectacular!!

Wow, very impressive looking. So, what rules were these based for, and what's man to fig scale?

Just wondering,
Dean

Thanks "vW" & Markconz!
I have always admired your "posts" on TMP so I am honored that yall commented so positively!
Cheers from Texas!

Thanks "Tyn Man"
Figure scale is 1 figure equals 10 real men. Rules are "ACW" Rally Round the Flag" converted for Napoleonics …. allows for very big battles. Ground scale is 1 inch equals 25 yds, 1 turn equals 15 minutes. A turn is divided into 4 subsets
Cheeers

Amazing

Thanks for sharing – clearly, don't mess with Texas!

Thanks Frederick!

What scale and manufacturer are these beauties.

Leadjunky,
They are all 6mm ADLER MINATURES. Incredible amount of detail for 6mm….the Marechal Davout figure has spectacles on…that you can see and paint! Lasalle figure has a pipe in his hand!
Cheers

You could do 1 to 1?

Excellent work! Inspiring to see that much painted lead.

Superb, that is great to see. A super collection sir!!

Thanks DaleWill, jambo1!
And d88mm1940 I did look at 1 to 5, but it just took up too much room.

they looked like 15 mm to me ! Outstanding

Thanks again vW,
I have viewed your postings for years and respect your knowledge and class ….. especially when dealing with challenging posts.
Cheers

I have been impressed with your work for several years. I seek to emulate it, in terms of both quantity and especially quality. Much work left to do. Thank you so much for setting the bar so high. I still have to spend half my hours a week at work, but it will not be so long from now I might have a chance at catching up.
Who am I kidding? I only have 20,000 pieces :)

Oh Yea, mine are all Adler as well. Great sculptures for a deft brush.

Thanks Robert, and do you have any pictures of your figures or battles?
If you do please post. Posting is not a contest, but more a sharing of the love of painting figures and collecting…..Not to mention …fighting battles and especially campaigns. Give it a try!
Cheers from Texas

At this figure ratio, you should consider that the Russians carried one flag behind the other, not side-by-side.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong about that.

Thanks Widowson for your input.
I did that with my 6mm Adler 7YW Prussians who have 5 flags per battalion. And with 48 regiments with 2 battalions each it came out to be "490" flags. It was a lot of work, but looks great!

But I didn't like the way it looked with the Napoleonic Russians, Austrians, etc. And as the "Tsar of all the Russians" I made the decision to put them side-by-side….and to me it looks much better. Also did it with the Austrians.

Anyway, at best we are only modeling and building a "representation" of real units. There is always a trade off between gaming vs. realism.

But if you did it with your regiments please post a picture, because I am always interested in different ways of doing things.

Stunning, of course everything is bigger in Texas.

Thanks aardvark99!
