Largest 15mm Model Soldier Collection known

This video reveals the largest 15mm miniature army collection in the world, featuring over 300,000 painted toy soldiers organized to show true battlefield scale. Spanning ancient warfare through World War II, this historic miniature collection demonstrates what massed armies actually looked like when assembled at full strength.

In this cinematic overview, I visualize the scale of historical warfare by lining up thousands of 15mm wargaming miniatures—infantry, cavalry, artillery, and vehicles—on standardized bases. If placed end to end, this miniature army would stretch the length of more than 14 American football fields, offering a powerful comparison of scale rarely seen in tabletop wargaming or military modeling.

This collection was built over decades with a focus on epic scale realism, historical accuracy, and the ability to recreate real battles on the tabletop. The 15mm scale allows entire divisions and corps to be displayed and played, rather than isolated units, bringing military history off the page and into three-dimensional form.

This video is part of The Krause Collection, where I document one of the world’s largest privately owned historical miniature soldier collections, explore scale modeling and miniature painting techniques, and recreate famous battles from history using tabletop wargames.
