Wellington and Picton

Over the last few months I have been painting my British and Allies.  As I only had an old Alberken Daddy Hill painted I decided I needed some extra commanders.

I have had original Hinton Hunt Wellington and Picton figures and horses in my to do pile for a while and decided it was about time they got a lick of paint.




I have painted Picton in scarlet rather than black using Hinton Hunts original painting guide, which is available on Clives excellent blog, as a reference.

    Excellent work Mark, I had Wellington but for some reason never got Picton. The collection is going from strength to strength.

    They look great Matt. Such detail and character in the faces of the figures isn't there?

    An interesting aside
    I stumbled across this video amongst the 'hits' in a search of Napoleonic videos as background 'viewing' (i.e. chiefly listening) whilst painting.

    You may have already seen it, but I know that you'll love it if you have not. Please share with Ian and other devotees of Marcus' work!
