That is really coming along very nicely; and your addition of the pillar is a touch of brilliance.

Done a bit more to this project,started to paint the pelise and some bottom weathering,reason I've gone for this look is some of the prints and paintings that inspired me,plus the fact the weather and ground conditions would have a profound effect upon the uniforms.
Still lots to do with the pelise before I move on to the clothing.
Some more work to complete on the fur and I need to mute the blue on the tarleton more.

I'm enjoying watching your progress with this Brian, it's coming along beautifully.

I thought you might be interested to see this. John Hinks served in Mercer's Battery as a Lieutenant at Waterloo and is buried here in Bedale.
