I bought a big box of "toy town" type figures from Eureka miniatures which I have slowly been painting up.
General: "Dem Frenchies is coming on in the same old style. Bring up your battery, Ramsay!"
Captain Ramsay: "Sah!"
"King's troop, move out!"
"Open fah!"
"Well done, lads, back home for tea and medals"
Lace 'n Big Hats is a diary of my lead adventures. The title comes from a remark of Martin Rapier, a member of TMP. Lace 'n Big Hats aggregates historical periods such as the Lace wars, Seven years war, Napoleonic Wars etc, which had this elaborate dress as one common factor. I like the phrase so much I am thinking of using it as a name for a rule set I am working on. My historical interests are actually a bit broader, so I will be throwing in bits and pieces from WW2 and even the Modern era.

28mm Napoleonic Front Rank cavalry: Dutchy of Warsaw, French, Russian
Here are some of the Front Rank Napoleonic cavalry which I recently finished. I painted these to sell. Often I do this and then decide that I can't part with the figures. This time I deliberately bought them in unit sizes I don't use. I will have to see if this helps me part with them!
Dutchy of Warsaw 1st Chasseurs a Cheval
French 20th Dragoons
French Carabinier
Russian Guard Cossacks
Russian Military Order Cuirassier
Russian Ekaterinoslav Cuirassier
Russian Novogorod Cuirassier
Russian Pskov Dragoons
Russian St Petersberg Dragoons
Dave Allsop figures French line infantry painted as 94th, 95th and 112th line
I have some figures from the late, great, Dave Allsop. Dave worked on a range of French, Austrian and Russian figures before his untimely death in the United States. These are some of the French figures. The figures have separate heads and many different heads to use. In addition to Dave's heads, I used quite a few from my "swap box" to add variety.
I don't think you can get these figures any more. The fit in quite nicely with the likes of Bicorne and Firing line.

10mm Napoleonic Russian line cavalry and infantry
I am painting these for Gerry of "The situation room". The snaps were taken with my phone. Sorry the second is a bit out of focus. Gerry does gaming on a grand scale using his "In the Grandest manner."
Gerry's blog is here. If you are a maniac for Napoleonics, and can get to the UK, send Gerry a message via his blog to see if you can get an invite to play at his place in Scarborough.

28mm Perry Napoleonic Imperial Guard Commanders
When I was in the UK I picked up a pack of these Imperial Guard Commanders at the Newark "Partizan" show.
28mm Napoleonic Westphalians
These are some Perry miniatures painted up as Westphalians. I love the variety of heads which the Perry brother put into this set.
