Now that the rest of the renovated figures in my Napoleonic collection have been transferred to their new homes (A5-sized WestonBoxes), I thought that I would review the British figures. They are now split into the following of 'formations in boxes'.
It is worth noting that approximately one-third of the figures shown above were originally in the collection of the late Stuart Asquith.
British 1st Division, which includes the Guards Brigade (two regiments of Foot Guards), two Line infantry regiments, a regiment of the Life Guards, a detachment of The Rifles, and a battery of Foot artillery.
British 2nd Division, which includes four Line infantry regiments, a regiment of Hussars, a detachment of The Rifles, and a battery of Foot artillery.
British 3rd Division, which includes four Line infantry regiments, a regiment of Hussars, a detachment of The Rifles, and a battery of Foot artillery.
British 4th (Scottish) Division, which includes four Highland infantry regiments, the Scots Greys, a detachment of The Rifles, and a battery of Foot artillery.
British 5th Division (known as 'The Orphans'), which includes a regiment of Foot Guards, a Highland infantry regiment, two Line infantry regiments, a regiment of Hussars, and a battery of Foot artillery.
Part of the Reserve, which includes five regiments of Militia infantry (three Scottish and two English), and three artillery batteries (two Foot batteries and one Horse battery).
Three more batteries of Horse artillery of the Reserve, a second regiment of Life Guards, and the General Staff.
It is worth noting that approximately one-third of the figures shown above were originally in the collection of the late Stuart Asquith.
Nice storage or as I call them cat perches. Every time I put something new down on my bench, my cat Cookie decides it’s for her.
ReplyDeleteSteve8,
DeleteI’m very lucky. Our cat doesn’t like going into my toy/wargame room unless it is to go to sleep under the radiator ... and it only does that very rarely.
All the best,
Bob
You clearly need to do more in there to pique her curiousity.
DeleteSteve8,
DeleteNo way! She is already a small domestic tyrant who we address as 'Princess' because of the way she treats her 'servants' (my wife and I) ... and that's more than enough to deal with!
All the best,
Bob
A great way to organise your units Bob. I have a similar plan, but on a slightly larger scale,
ReplyDeleteSteve J.,
DeleteCheers! I’ve tried all sorts of different storage solutions, but this seems to be the most suitable for storing my figures in. I intend to add labels to the boxes once I’ve finished renovating the entire collection.
All the best,
Bob
