War of Spanish Succession British/Dutch/Danish

Hi guys

The first half of a large WoSS British/Dutch/Danish commission, this first half is mainly front rank metals, the second half will all be Wargames factory plastics, the FR figures aren't to bad and paint up well, the WF figures on the other hand aren't very nice, ugly faces, the marching pose is OK, but there is only 1, the details are soft, and the plastic seems a bit more brittle than Perry or Victrix, but having said all that, they are fine for filling out massed ranks for the period.
Here we have the British Coldstream Guards (metal), Dutch Grenadiers Regiment (metal) Danish Grenaderkorps Regiment (plastic),  Holstein Gottorf Osten Cavalry (in blue), Rhine Superior Nassau Weilburg (in grey) and mixed command figures.

Hi guys

A couple of more updates on the Napoleonic Miniatures Museum, please follow that blog if you like the Napoleonic era, I am trying to build a site with at least one entry for all the various uniforms of the era, for all wargamers/modellers to go for inspiration.

Napoleonic online miniatures museum kicks off

Hi guys

I have always wanted to make a 15mm Napoleonic miniature museum in a display cabinet in my home, but never got around to doing it, I am helping Erik a customer/friend of mine to do one for himself so I decided to start my own, however I am going to do an online museum, that can be a uniform resource for miniature collectors and wargamers, I am no Napoleonic expert, just an enthusiast with general knowledge, so I may very well make the odd mistake, fell free to let me know when I do, I plan to represent each uniform with a little vignette like then ones below, that will take some time, so in the mean time I will use old photos that aren't as nice and replace them as I get better ones, feel free to offer any ideas you may have, here are the first 3 entries, please follow this blog if you are interested in the Napoleonic period.
