I'm not painting naps at the moment however I did take some pictures of our full collection recently (not totally full as young David took half his guard home and our Brits are not present plus I forgot about my Minifig Prussian brigade!) so I thought this would be a good opportunity to take stock of where we are at.
Pretty much all of David's French army as it stands at the moment.
Plenty of cavalry regiments with plenty more to be painted. I also have a number of AB French cavalry regiments to paint at some point (not until the allied cavalry are more of a threat!).
David's cavalry are made up of Minifigs (2nd generation), Battle Honours and also Old Glory.
David started us off long ago with his 1st Minifig battalions (I was still at school at the time so 25 years plus). Robert sold David some BH and Neil sent up plenty more BH French that make up most of David's force. There are a few OG French infantry thrown in too.
Davids mostly Minifig artillery (I missed a box so there are a couple more batteries).
Some Minifig eye candy.
David did these BH up as separate skirmishing voltigeurs, not really seen them in action yet like this?
My own collection as it stands minus 4 battalions of Minifig Prussians and artillery battery.
My Russians and Prussians are pretty much equal in size at the moment.
Recent Russian additions.
My poor Russian cavalry commanders desperate for someone to command (watch this space!!!)
And me Prussians
My new Blucher taking his place at the head of the army ready for anybody!!!
Not forgotten: I really enjoy painting Bavarians however as David has plenty of French I need to concentrate on the main Allies.
Again I love painting my Saxons and I have enough for a full brigade ready to paint but they are a side line for the moment
And finally my French and Austrians. The French will get done over the years but only when my Russians and Prussians are more solid. The Austrians are on hold as Cameron has a new job and I have other commitments at the moment.
Hopefully I'll get a couple more units finished before the New Year?!?

Thanks very much Christopher glad you like them!
Wow! Ditto what Christopher said!
Nothing like putting all the figures on parade together for a real sense of achievement.
Well done!
Enjoyable tour thanks!
Just beautiful. Really crisp, clean, gorgeous paint jobs, perfect basing, nice command stands... Great job, very jealous!
I agree with others, your painting of the minis came out just so gorgeous!
Its obviously you have/had a vision with your Napoleonic miniatures, like a movie director would have before filming with his/her artistic talents and creativity, and you have the artistic painting skills and creativity no question about it, you painted the minis with so visual appeal to match with the flocking of your bases and your table top battlefield playing area, its amazing.
really one hell of a great project by you sir! top marks for your hard work....and thank your very much for sharing your stunning work to us "followers" ;o) at your blog
cheers!
Very impressive, even more so for the quality of the paint work and basing. You should be very proud!

A belated addition to the chorus of praise Paul. They look great and are beautifully painted and based. You can't beat massed Napoleonics!

I was visiting that post for 3 times now, pondering what one can say in front of such a brilliant display.
"Thank you for sharing and very well done Paul!"
I think that nails it down. :--)
Hi Paul, I've nominated you and your blog for the latest round of virtual backslapping, the Lieber Blog Award. If you're interested see my latest post.
Blucher did a great job on Saturday, leading the young men of Prussia to seize KAJA, your brother David suffered from the Austrian onslaught of Von Cameron. Inspirational painting is the majic!
Wow, impressive to say the least. Truly inspiring stuff Paul!
Jason
That's an impressive amount of painted figures Paul!
Thanks for sharing!
