Having painted the Cavalry Staff Trooper a few weeks ago I can now hold a full review of the Duke's staff. They may not be quite as glittering as those of the enemy but I hope you like them all the same.
 |

 |
| BN/253 Lieut-Gen. Sir Thomas Picton in top hat and tail coat (on horse BNH/11) - yes, I know he should't have a red coat but this is what it says on the painting instruction sheet! |
 |

I say 'full review' however I am still missing one figure DN31 Dutch-Belgian General. If I ever turn one up I'll edit him in to the post.
Swiz, no group shot?
ReplyDeleteSuper - an impressive team!
ReplyDeleteRob, yeah I just realised that, some other time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tony, how can they ever lose!
ReplyDeleteA fine commanding body of men…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Superb collection of commanders, quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeleteWillz.
Aly, I shall pass on your comment to the lads!
ReplyDeleteDonnie, it’s clear to me that Marcus Hinton really enjoyed sculpting these figures!
ReplyDeleteThanks Willz!
ReplyDeleteIt's just occurred to me, that if you wanted Nosey's entourage to challenge Boney's then you could do the attached foreign liason officers as per the bunch shown on the Cent Jours site:

A handsome bunch of figures, no doubt about it! But my master tells me they still look perfidious.
ReplyDeleteBob
Harsh words Bob, personally there isn’t one of these gentlemen I would have any qualms about lending half a sovereign to!
ReplyDeleteRob, I do have Muffling!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteGenerally excellent!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen even a photo of the Dutch-Belgian General Staff Figure.
Cheers Matt, I’d like to see you do the same with ACW generals!
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there WM!
ReplyDeleteI know what he looks like but never seen one on eBay…
Thank you, Ian, for this magnificent colour chart for the Duke and his staff. I shall be referring to it shamelessly. And if Marcus' painting instructions say Picton has a red coat, then that is what he "should" have. Mind you, the catalogue also describes it as a tail coat, as you have faithfully related......
ReplyDeletePretty :)
ReplyDeleteNigel, I assume the HH painting instruction sheet for Picton contains a typo but then who knows?
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob!
ReplyDeleteWith those fine gentlemen leading them and an A morale class, how could the British possibly lose? A fine collection there Ian.
ReplyDeleteThanks David, I’m sure the Duke will take comfort from your words!
