My Napoleonic French Army

This page records my 15mm Napoleonic French Army.  It is based for Napoleon's Battles.  I have included notes on the provenance of the unit if it is not one that I have wholly painted (some acquisitions have been either touched up (repaired) or partially repainted by me to reflect my tastes or research).  I have also tried to identify the figure manufacturer.

The starter for this collection was acquisition made after I sold my 6mm Napoleonic Army.  It was predominately Essex figures along with some Museum Miniatures and maybe a few other things.  The army I thought came from Alan Traves but if I recall correctly David Williams said it was painted by him.  Alan was the Canberra agent for Essex and I certainly bought a number of figures from him.

There was a second acquisition of figures by Dragon painting services via Carlo.

The third acquisition was from a seller on Facebook.
