    It was a lovely day for photography today, so I’ve been catching up with the units painted during the winter.  All these are AB Figures 15mm sculpted by Tony Barton, except for the Baden Gunners, which are old Battle Honours (also sculpted by Tony Barton before he started AB) and the Murat and Bessieres figures, which are by the talented new Estonian sculptor Sho Boki:

    Austrian Cavalry Guns:

    Austrian Chevauxleger Regiment #5 ‘Klenau’:

    Austrian Grenadier Battalion ‘Brzeczinzky’, 1809:

    Austrian Grenadier Battalion ‘Frisch’, 1809:

    Austrian Infantry Regiment #7 ‘Schroeder’

    Vienna Freiwilligen:

    Baden Foot Artillery:

    Baden General:

    French 4th Cuirassiers:

    French 7th Chasseurs a Cheval

    French 9th Light Infantry Regiment:

    French 10th Light Infantry Regiment:

    French Marshal Bessieres (actually a Sho Boki Murat figure with a repaint):

    French General Grouchy during his pre-Marshalate days, as a cavalry corps commander:

    French Marshal Murat circa 1807 (Eylau):

    French Marshal Murat circa 1812 (Borodino):

    French Marshal Murat circa 1813 (Leipzig):

    French Voltigeurs of the Young Guard, circa 1810-1813:

    Duchy of Warsaw Foot Artillery:

    Duchy of Warsaw Horse Artillery:

    Prussian 1st Gardes zu Fuss.  These are actually made from Russian grenadiers circa 1805-07.  The bricole-spotters will be able to spot the inaccuracies, but I think they look jolly spiffing!  You can’t beat nicely-trimmed busch…:

    Prussian 1st Gardes zu Fuss:

    Prussian 2nd Gardes zu Fuss, 1813 (prior to 1813 this uniform was worn by the ‘Normal-Infanterie-Bataillon):

    Prussian 2nd Gardes zu Fuss, 1813 (prior to 1813 this uniform was worn by the ‘Normal-Infanterie-Bataillon):

    Prussian 5th (Brandenburg) Dragoons:

    Westphalian Guard Horse Artillery:

    Cheers Bandit!  I used to use a ‘proper’ camera, but now I just use my phone.

    Marvellous stuff, Mark (or Jemima – as you prefer).

    Noting your Badeners, I read somewhere today that after one of the Peninsula battles (the one where the 23rd LD charged at a gulley and lost), they were so taken with the Tarleton helmet that their bandsmen seized the abandoned ones and wore them for some time thereafter.

    “one of the Peninsula battles (the one where the 23rd LD charged at a gulley and lost)”

     

    That would be Talavera.
