Thanks for the comments

Kasper, I dare not think of the floor space to lay out my complete collection. I remember in my early years fighting a napoleonic wargame with friends in a ballroom and we only had at most 5,000 figures. i don't know how I would ever use my complete Napoleonic collection, unless I use the old hanger that we use for Gauntlet at Airbus!

Giles, thanks for the complement

Mad Carew, yes I have my own "study" 1.5m x 3m (5' x 10') but most of my collection is stored in the attic or garage. I do get to use the living room or conservatory fo games where I use a table tennis table plus an extension if needed.

Andrew, I have gradually built up an inventory over the years on Excel it's useful to keep track as the collection has grown and also to keep track of what I have.
