Maybe this is a little over crowded! I wanted to represent Raievski in the midst of battle with the Grenadiers. Raievski is a really nice figure from Boki Miniatures. He is giving some orders to a dismounted AB general (okay his plume is too tall, probably because he is an officer from the pre 1812 range from AB, but it probably got misshapen from the bullets whizzing through it). All the other figures are AB. The thing I like about this stand is that it has a real 360 feel to it. The problem with it, is that you have to handle it carefully despite the numerous raised parts I added round the side for gripping.
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).
