The stand might be a little rammed full of people for some tastes but I wanted it to look really full like the paintings you see of the generals overlooking the battlefield. Plus the finished stand weighs a ton. It feels really solid and could be useful for holding down taupaulins on windy days or even gazebos.
When I painted my first Napoleonic's 25mm was 25mm and 15mm, well that was always liable to scale creep. I mean 15mm is pretty small. So maybe in this mixed up world 1815 didn't mark the end and perhaps we can imagine another 3 years of campaigning (okay another 3 years of needless suffering for the people of Europe, but hey, these are 15mm metal figures, they can take it).

General Kutuzov Command Stand
All the figures are purchased from Boki including the horses. These are really great figures, they are in scale with AB but I did not try mixing them on this stand. The horses are also from Boki, which I was not so sure about to begin with compared to AB. But once painted I have been pretty happy.
