hi Jeff
there is a technical question for the pistol turned... consider that the pistol were charged with powder and the position help to guarantee that the fire move from the sparkling to the internal chamber making the explosion

 

[Tonton]

Thanks, Ivopreda. That’s an interesting slant (no pun intended) as I’ve never seen a flintlock used like that.

the horse was painted in oils simulating the horse hairs and giving it a different look more "dirty"

It's progressing beautifully! I like the different subject matter as Napoleonic subjects go.
