Great work. I sculpt my own figures, but if I were going to spend money on someone else work this would be the one.

The painting by Beadle only depicts the Right hand platoon of a company sized rearguard, with more Rfn seen on the other side. plenty of scope for more figures and once they are released individually I'll be picking up a few more!!!

The Rearguard​

J P Beadle’s famous painting, ‘The Rearguard’. It depicts General ‘Black Bob’ Craufurd and a party of riflemen of the 95th turning to face a French pursuit somewhere on the road between Astorga and Orense. Though the French pursuit of ‘Black Bob’ was not as actively pressed as in pursuit of Moore, Craufurd employed strict measures concerning the line of march and ‘straggling’. Though considered very severe at the time by the soldiers, these measures were later described by the same men as being necessary to ensure an efficient and speedy march without suffering a great loss of life. Note that in his other sketches Beadle depicts some of the riflemen wearing greatcoats - which most probably were - but in this painting only the officers are wearing greatcoats. The icy conditions depicted here would have been typical in Galicia over the duration of the ‘retreat’.​
