I've been wargaming since the 1990s, and during that time have amassed many miniatures across a range of periods. However, I've never really catalogued them all, and some of them haven't seen the light of day for many a year. So I've decided that on my Dressing The Lines over the next few weeks I'm going to parade each army for inspection, and take stock of what I've got. From 2003 to about 2009 I collected a 28mm British army of the Napoleonic period, à la Sharpe and Harper. It hasn't seen very much wargaming action since then, so I thought this might be a good army with which to start my inspection tour. It's hard to beat the splendour of a mass of red-coated figures! The full inspection, covering commanders, infantry, cavalry, artillery and even the navy, is up on my blog here:

Oodles of eyecandy goodness ! Fantastic, great painting and basing. Sometimes it's just great to whip them all out and just enjoy the view. I appreciated your commentary and tips in the blog. That's a useful generic mat you have used, maker ? |

Terrific photos and subjects. Real attention to detail. Colours correctly orientated, flank companies the same, the 42nd uniform distinctions and even the piper's tartan……. Front Rank must love you. Major investor. Nice to see some Foundry figures and did enjoy your comment about painting eyes back then. |

Fantastic work, and I think its a good idea to pull the figures out, line them up and see whats needed or where to go next. |

What a lovely collection! A really great collection of beautifully painted figures and an excellent blog commentary. Thanks for the tip regarding the Black Watch Piper – I have a battalion on the work bench and had no idea that the piper wore a different kilt! |
