Thanks to all for your support..
I've just found a picture of a Hood's Brigade color bearer from an UK-based re-enactment group. The flag lacks the battle honors, but it's very inspirational anyway..

Forage cap lettering...not 100% happy with it, needs some finer outlining

Great work. The grey turned out excellent (a hard colour to work with) and the brown plaid blanket looks fantastic as well. I'm usually not a fan of busts but somehow, this one really gets me.

Well done

Colin

Very good work with the flag, the effect of the waves is very convincing, as well as the shoots holes.

Superb Gerard. My only minor critique is that I don't like the flags upper fringe standing up defying gravity. But maybe at the trot....or artistic licence. But the painting could not be better and a superb idea.
