Ah, some lovely painting there. It's nice to see the SYW represented. Tricorns rock!  ;)

 :-* Looking good. Are all the figures from Foundry? Also, are the single based figures Dragoons?

... Tricorns rock!  ;)

Yes they do! … but personally I prefer the WSS period  ;)

Thanks! Yes, all the figures are from Foundry. The single figures are dismounted Dragoons.

Very impressive - could you say how many men you have on parade?
There are 137 Brits and slightly fewer French, about 128 I think.

Lovely job, I really love mass ranked units, shoulder to shoulder ready to face the horrors of war.

But again like all the stuff on this forum, amazing paintingjob!

 :D Thanks for posting this!  Was wondering if anybody on these forums does anything besides role play and skirmish scale.  Although I like role play and skirmish scale, I also like mass battle games, particularly those set in the 18th Century.  I've got some nice 15mm SYW figures and lots of 28mm WSS figures.  Like Calimero, I'm more into the WSS now, but anything in the 18th Century is good!
Sailors have more fun!

Yes, I'm currently more into skirmishes not a lot of gaming time and not a lot of mini's. But I'm improving because I am painting up 2 boxes of nap's from perry's, not really high standards as yours but they will look good mass ranked I think (hope)  :D.

Egad! All those stout English redcoats in serried ranks, drums beating, pipes trilling, Union flags flying... Well it makes the old heart beat faster  ;)

Gorgeous collection.
