Good job there Mark. "Daddy" Hill must be an accomplished horseman to be able to manage his mount while a map flaps around in his hand. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to unfold / refold an OS map while in the saddle. I now use an app on my phone to navigate when out riding.
A classic figure , well painted !
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony. I am really enjoying painting my ckassic Napoleonics. Who would have thought I would be using ink for black lining figures ar my age.
DeleteVery nice Mark, love the map!
ReplyDeleteMaps seem to be a feature of classic Napoleonics. I was tempted to make it a newspaper - the Times perhaps.
DeleteA definite improvement, well done.
ReplyDeleteHave put the 20mm Napoleonics on the back burner.
If you read my blog you'll see why.

Hi Jim
DeleteLeft a message on your blog.
Looking forward to seeing your 20mm promoted to your painting table.
Your painting has really brought that haughty-looking aristocrat to life, Mark! Well done indeed.

No doubt Aristocrats at the time learnt horsemanship and mapping reading as soon as they good walk.
DeleteHinton Hunt Austrian Mounted General is also reading a map.
