Collection So Far (3)

In a few days it will be the anniversary of my 1st post on this blog (19th Sept 2009) and so I thought it would be a good idea to show you what I've done in those 4 years. This is all the Napoleonic figures I've painted save a few battalions my brother has and my Minifigs Prussians that I completely forgot to photograph again. I know it isn't a huge amount of figures compared to what a lot of wargamers can paint each year however I'm happy with them.
  

1st up a long shot across the whole lot
    

This is how my Prussian cavalry are looking at the moment. 6 regiments of cavalry (2 heavy, 2 medium, 2 light). I have 4 more I plan to do as well as some spares I may add to as well as command stands.
   

A wee cut away shot of the kurassiers, dragoons and uhlans.

And another close up (I hope you don't mind as the dragoons are my favourite).
    

Von Blucher leading the troops
  

The foot soldiers: I have 16  battalions in all of different types (plus a jager battalion). I need to work on landwehr and finish off the battalions from Darren.
  

A few commands, I've done pretty well with commands lately but have a couple more for the foot I started this evening. 1 converted Austrian I'm not 100% on yet as the Austrian AB appear a little smaller than the other nations?
  

I also need to do some more volunteer jagers.
  

Artillery, I really like the AB Prussian artillery and have 2 more batteries to do.
  

My Russians, I have been getting an itch to jump back to my Russians lately.
  

I have 12 battalions finished and a good few more to do.
  

My Russian cavalry is really weak. I've a few regiments to paint up but the 30 man regiments take so long.
  

My tiny Austrians, Saxons, French and Bavarians
  

I started the Austrians when our buddy Cameron wanted a hand out but he has since disappeared up north working. I would definitely like an Austrian force but it will be a good bit down the line.
  

The Saxons came to a standstill when I realised how many French my brother and nephew were doing so I needed to get my finger out with the Prussians and Russians. I hope to return to them pretty soon.
  

Plus my Bavarians and French. I would like to add a nice force of each to my collection over the next couple of years. I also would love to do Wurtemburgers and Poles but there just isn't enough hours to paint everything . . .

Thanks to everyone who follows this blog and leaves a comment. I've found sharing our hobby has had a very positive effect on my output and helped with ideas.

My conversations with Von Blucher continue to help me keep on track at times when I become a wee bit lazy and Craig's Prussians have also given me a boost when I needed it. I've picked up AB figures from people at very fair prices that have helped me with my collection (Darren, Neil, Von Blucher and Simon). I very much appreciate that!!!

Anyway I hope you have found some of my posts interesting and fingers crossed that I can continue to add to my collection over the next year or 2. Very happy wargaming.

Best regards
Paul
