A few more pieces and you can create a whole regiment of them.
Denis Riley is fast running out of house room for his works of art but that is not deterring him from completing his mission.
The 73-year-old – a keen woodcarver – admits he has taken on a huge task but he is determined he will finish it – one day.
Denis, a former Duke of Wellington's soldier, has begun to trace the lineage of the three regiments that make up the Yorkshire Regiment – the Dukes, the Green Howards and the Prince of Wales's Own.
But not content to simply look into the history of each regiment, he has decided to carve models of the various regimental outfits worn through the decades – and centuries.
"When the regiments amalgamated it just seemed like an obvious project to look at. Of course these aren't the first soldiers I have carved," he says.
His Rippponden home is now testament to a life's work of carving – he began as a teenager.
There are already collections of soldiers through the ages, including one of himself during his National Service in 1953.
"I was an acting sergeant then in the intelligence section, involved with cartography – map-making.
"I loved the life and was tempted to stay in the Army but I missed my family and came out and back to a job in textiles."
His latest army – or armies – of soldiers are now beautifully arranged wearing their uniforms (exact to the detailed research he has carried out) and waiting to be joined by even more regiments.
"I know it's a big task because there are lots of different regiments and some of the regiments had as many as 22 battalions, but it keeps me busy".
So far he has completed more than 30 of the little models which include figures from the 33rd Regiment of Foot, the 76th Regiment of Foot and the Earl of Huntingdon's Regiment.
Perhaps one of the most poignant figures is that of the Green Howard's little drummer boy of Richmond.
The legend of the boy inspired him to carve the figure.
The story goes that nearly 200 years ago some soldiers found an entrance to a tunnel near the castle keep. They could not fit into the tunnel so they elected to send in a regimental drummer boy.
The boy was asked to walk along the tunnel and beat his drum so that above ground the soldiers could follow the noise. They did this for three miles before the sound stopped unexpectedly.
This was never explained and today a stone marks the spot where the noise stopped. Legend claims that on some cold nights you can hear the faint sound of the drummer boy still.
Over the years his hobby has consumed hours of his time. As a result his house is packed with his work. There are carvings of famous figures including Winston Churchill, Laurel and Hardy and Tutankhamun as well as models of ships, meticulous in their details.
The Golden Hind and Mary Rose are two of his prize creations.
"The sails on the Mary Rose are made of real silk and I'll tell you why," he says cheekily.
"I made that while I was still working and I said to one of the lasses 'have you any silky type matieral you could let me have?' She said 'I've some cami knickers and they're pure silk,' so I said 'well as long as they're clean, they'll be just the job'."
Denis is also a keen entomologist and has hundreds of butterflies which he has collected over the years.
"When I was in the Dukes and stationed out in Gibraltar they called me the mad professor because I used to catch scorpions to preserve and study them.
"That and carving have always been passions though. My dad was a good carver, so perhaps I inherited it from him. He made some beautiful pieces of furniture. I nev-er appreciated just how talented he was though when I was a lad."
Denis adds that his late brother Winston was known for his church carvings.
"It must be in the blood and I love it. I've no intention of giving up just yet either – there are still too many soldiers to do for one thing and I've an idea of carving myself a nice walking stick too. I've got a design that I saw featured on the Antiques Roadshow."
He is now considering whether to offer his collection of soldiers for an exhibition.
"It would be nice for other folks to see them," he says.
