Just about scraping in to 2023! Here, finally, are a troop of the 1st Life Guards to round off the year. I've been very busy doing yet another regiment of French line at 1:1 but realised around...

Happy Quatre Bras Day! Here are the French 2nd Dragoons - I did these a year or so ago, but have only just got round to taking some pics. The plan is to do Lhéritier's 11th Cavalry Division...

Back after a long break! For a number of reasons have not done any painting since 2021 and wasn't sure I'd ever get back again. But all good now, and back to the project. I'm currently working on...

So, it's been a long time - had a lot on my plate and never seems to be enough time to do the research, AND paint these armies, AND do this blog. I actually took these . pics over a year ag...

Back in January, in the good old days before Covid, I made yet another pilgrimage to Kew to spend another day of research for my Waterloo database. This time I turned my attention to the KGL - ...

Following on from the previous post, here is the missing company - the Voltigeurs. There are about 60 men in the company - too many to easily fit in one photo - so here are lots of pics of small ...

Happy Waterloo Day! To celebrate, here is my second French battalion at 1:1. It's taken quite a while, there's still some tidying up to do (some Corporal stripes missing) and the Voltigeur compan...

I don't like posting pics of unfinished figures but it's Waterloo Day and I felt like I should post something. The only thing close to being finished are these Belgian line infantry. Still some t...

Continuing the new non-British European slant, here is a company of Brunswickers from the 1st Light Battalion, presumably fighting somewhere in or around Hougoumont. The first Light Bat...

Happy Waterloo Day! Here are 90 men of the 1st (Royal) Dragoons, mostly of Methuen's No.7 or "D" Troop. I have hurried to get these finished in time for 18th June so there are tons of little er...

Here are 90 men of the Royal Welch, part of a square of the whole regiment I have been working on. The Royal Welsh Fusiliers was a battle-hardened regiment whose battle honours included Cor...

Now traditional apologies for tardiness in posting updates, I will skip the boring excuses and just post some pics of a few men of Bowater's Company, 3rd Foot Guards. I haven't based them becau...

Sorry, it's been a long time - have been very busy with new home etc. Lots of painting done but unfortunately all with a roller and very little with a brush. But Christmas has been a nice break f...

Currently in the chaos of buying a new home, hence very little time for all things Napoleonic and 28mm. Here is the unit I'm currently working on - 56 men of the 23rd (Royal Welch) Fusiliers. A...

Happy new year! Hopefully I'll get more done in 2017, the vegetable garden took over most of my free time in 2016, but I've been missing the world of 28mm Waterloo of late. A few months ago I p...

Some of my favourite figs of all time are the Perry 28mm French naps "standing around" - they make a wonderful range of line and guard infantry standing waiting, which is what I imagine a lot of ...

As Robert Plant once said, it's been a long time since I rock n' rolled. My last post on this blog was nine months ago so I should perhaps explain myself. Firstly, my eyes suddenly went. M...

I'm not talking about Mr & Mrs Tintin, but rather using up some spare bits and bobs to make Belgian line infantry, and some Belgian heavy cavalry. The line infantry is simple enough - British bo...

Back to the project - finished some reinforcements to bolster the ranks of the 92nd, which are now just about complete. I enjoyed doing this little lot despite highlanders taking so long. I've c...

What do you do when you've got a load of plastic spares - British artillery arms, French pre-bardin bodies, and French Old Guard Grenadier heads? It occured to me the other day that, with a bit o...
