Superb vignette and, as Henkm says, good to have non-military subjects.
To my mind it really captures the original. All that brocade and embroidery will present the brush-fiends amongst us with a fantastic challenge/opportunity (way beyond my skill, eyesight and shaky hands).
Clearly the same basic 'set' has been used as 'Before Patrol' (sensible and it will be easy to make them different). My only peeves are that the window leading is far too heavy (they need a photo-etching) and, after listening to an LBC Radio 'phone in the other day, I realise that 'continental' windows traditionally open inwards as per the painting (seemingly due to the use of external blinds on many houses: the UK doesn't have the sun so no blinds and it seems that external openings keep the rain out better). I assume this can easily remedied when fitting them and, while at it, the picture frame could be made more 'rococo' and ornate, as per the painting.
