- This is a 15 mm representation of a British army during the Crimean war using 15 mm miniature figures. The British Army during the Crimean war was about 27,000 men strong in five divisions and these have been represented here using some older figures in the marketplace manufactured sometime in the 1970s and 80s. I particularly enjoyed putting this army together and hope that it is a accurate depiction of the forces that fought during that conflict. 
Absolutely beautiful as always! Never, EVER, tire of seeing your new or old projects and incredibly painted armies! This is indeed a unique and fun war to game.
@@michaelwedding9077 thanks Michael. The origins from you are in there somewhere 😂😂 it turned out nice huh
Really nice.
@@99IronDuke thank you. I keep looking at it and it’s so nice
Just epic. What a great add to the collection. And the fact they are the older MiniFigs!!! Well done on this amazing project. I'll repost this over on the TtC group and tag my friend Tom Dye - the MiniFig guy. He would love what you have done.
Talk soon, Kevin.

@@Forge_n_Brush thank you Fritz. I am now starting with the small Turkish contingent trying to find suitable figures for that. I am having to be extremely creative. I probably should do a TH-cam on the creativity.😂😂😂
Impressive army filling the table!
@@oldschoolfrp2326 well I’m glad that you like it. I think a good British army on the table always looks very impressive.
Wonderful work. The amount of effort required to properly research the army organisation and find/purchase the correct figures, let alone the modelling and conversion and painting and re- basing, is astounding. Add in scale creep over the years, manufacturers differing interpretation of what constitutes a 15mm figure ( i.e. to the eyes or to the top of the hat), and that sadly, many of the older well established miniature companies no longer exist, and you have completed a huge task. Bravo!
@@buckospiffle594 thank you very much for your comment. I think you grasp the situation 100%. It is exactly as you wrote both Russian Army and the British Army were real tasks in itself. The Turks will be less so and the French I already finished except for maybe a few units. But they turned out very nicely and I’m happy with how it looks. I appreciate your comments more than you know.
Another very interesting video, thanks for putting it together. Hopefully you will put together a short Crimean War game video in the future.
Quite impressive, lover the effort you put into this!
You have so many armies painted up, how long does each one normally take you?
@@TheArmchairHistorian oh my gosh, each one is different entirely of how long it takes me if I am by myself with no distractions I can bang out 1000 men army in four weeks if I have to work deal with things and people company, etc., and then it could take me six weeks sometimes longer
A spectacular and beautiful showcase, congrats!
@@philRminiatures you always have nice things to say and I appreciate that this one was a tough one I have to say
That is very,very nice. I'm a big fan of the "does this look like a period painting of this battle" for an army. Which is why for the whole "black powder" or "horse and musket" period, I do 2mm. But this looks SO, so good.
Very very good work sir!
@@FelixstoweFoamForge thank you so very much. I was a little bit afraid of what it would look like having older figures that really nobody wants anymore. You can hardly give them away. But I think that the army organized this way looks nice. I finished the Russians now the Brits, and the French, so the only thing left are the Turks. I really did like the black powder air and the turmoil between 1840 and 1900. But thank you for your comments. Makes me feel great.
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 Mate, you're welcome.
Fantastic work Kevin. The army looks great. The figures might be older, but they really do look lovely. The good news is that you can basically fight the Eastern wing of the Alma, and with some Franco-Prussian French you have the Western wing covered too. Would look smashing, especially with that teddy bear fur mat that you used for this video.
@@ZenMiniPainting thank you yes, I have a very large French army actually, it’s way too big and I’ll probably be selling the French part of the Crimean war. I don’t need two armies. I’m working on the Turks now. Should be done with those by next week. But thank you very much for your comments. I was certainly hoping that you saw it and that you liked it. Actually, when I was finished, I thought of dedicating to you just because I know that you’re working on one and I so enjoy your videos.
@@ZenMiniPainting you know if you are ever over on the east coast come see me!
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 I am always on the lookout for an opportunity to head down to Georgia and pay you a visit!
Great job Kevin, would love to see the Alma set up😂👍
@@paulbenson9015 yes I think I’ll do that since I have all of the elements and armies. And maybe do a walk-through.
Lovely looking troops Kev! I said to my self "I hope he has the Light brigade" before watching the video. An interesting conflict and one that is seldom seen in miniature gaming.
@@nordicmaelstrom4714 thank you very much for your messaging me I never know of people like when I put up. But you’re right the brigade was pretty tough. The figure is just unavailable. I had to do a lot of conversions, especially the hussars and Uhland. But I did it I guess. I am onto the Turks now and they’re proving to be just as challenging. But thanks for watching
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 You are welcome! I am not familiar enough with the uniforms to comment but the painting was nice. Good luck!
@@nordicmaelstrom4714 I apologize my writing was so riddled with mistakes. I was needing a cup of coffee or multiple 😂😂
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 That is okay because I typo and spell like garbage lol.
great army as usual Kevin
@@Corvinuswargaming1444 when’s your next video my friend.
Hey there Kevin, lovely army! I very much enjoy your videos and I've been inspired to start my first 15mm army. I wanted to ask what size bases do you use for the round bases? (I recall you use 40x40mm for the troops, so I ordered some already) Cheers!
lovely work!, the royal guards stand out the most to me :)
@@wgeffoxdo9719 I agree with you the guard units all kind of stand out and pop. I really like them as well. You’ve got a good eye. But they’re really older figures and painting them most difficult like faces and stuff. I think back in the 70s, they didn’t have a lot of definition, like a lot of figures do today. A good flag and some nice highlights and Presto. They look good.
@@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 well, aslong as they look good from afar!
Quantity has a quality all of its own. Dude, you put the capital P in 'P'rolific!
@@paulbrockhurst8397 thanks Paul. I was surprised at the end how nice it looked. I really struggle to get the look with limited resources and not being able to get the figures anymore. I had fun taking old retired collections and making the new again.
