Grand Parade 2012
We got the troops out and doing a battalion count of new figures since last time (a year ago) I have painted up 6 x 24 man french battalions; 22 x 24 man allied battalions; 2 x Brunswick cannons (8 crew); 18 french cavalry. That's a total 692 figures in about a year, 2242 in total. We just set up the French and the new allied units - the Prussians had to sit this one out. The kitchen table was augmented with a wallpapering table and the green felt throw over just covering both. I think I could probably squeeze in another wallpapering table but wouldn't leave much room for a portly chap like me to move around! The first and last pictures are of the allied units, most of the pics were taken by my son (Ken junior) and daughter Sarah.

Looking very nice, and colourful!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing horde
ReplyDeleteNice work Ken, that's some going getting the figures all painted up in a year! Who's the dodgy looking giant figure in the 3rd to last pic!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite an army you have, impressed by the sheer quantity and quality of them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's taken a few years to build this army up, I think I started in 2009. From 2005 I'd been collecting and painting 1/72 plastics, these are now in the garage collecting dust.
ReplyDeleteRay - yes that's me alright! We didn't have long to mess about as we were kicked out by the wife!
That's an impressive display there! They look excellent. And an excellent tally for a year or so's work!
ReplyDeleteCheers for sharing!
Thanks Andy, a lot of painting but no playing!
ReplyDeleteKen you are a machine!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey look great by the way!
