They are probably keeping an eye on their "allies", be they Russian or Prussian, to make sure they are not about to be left in the lurch facing Napoleon on their own, again! They are very nice figures Mark and I agree about the red trousers!
Mind you it is probably the Russians and Prussians doubting the Austrians, given that they spend most of 1813 sitting on the fence. Years ago in Venice our water taxi driver looked rather smart in his red trousers, but I was never game to try!
Lovely work Mark. I thought that was Archduke Charles and a quick check of the Perry page confirmed it is. I always thought he tried his best and did quite well considering what he had to work with and was up against.
Very nicely done Mark:).
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve…you have to like a man in red pants!
DeleteLovely work… yet again…Mark.
ReplyDeleteThe guys on the outside look like they are both saying…”They are behind us” 😁
All the best. Aly
Thank Aly…I was thinking he was saying…”are you sure you ordered the strudel?”

DeleteMaybe I hope they're bringing the coffee? They certainly look swell.
ReplyDeleteAgreed…coffee the elixir of life
DeleteA wonderful little command group - perhaps they are discussing surrendering to the French?
ReplyDelete…or discussing the French surrender!

ReplyDeleteYes I know they were the earlier grouping, but since they don’t make any other generals they have to do.
DeleteNice. They kinda look like they’re having a conversation. At least one command figure has the requisite pointing off to somewhere. 😀
ReplyDeleteIt think he is pointing and saying…”all this open space and no Starbucks!”
DeleteFantastic command vignette.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan they are a nice set.
DeleteLovely looking command group Mark.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris
