Bloody lovely. Top job Mark. I'm impressed with the level of detail you manage with the 18mm figs.

Cheers Doug. Knowing that someone else is paying me top-whack (with a final-salary pension at the end of it) to do my hobbies is definitely a spur!

What colour coat is the drummer (last pic, back row, three in from the left) wearing? I assume it's the Hanoverian Guard - did they wear reversed colours or is it a Guelphic livery (as opposed to a livery Guelph, which would probably be more at home in Jeremy's recent work)?

Isn't a Guelph one of those heraldic animals, like Martlets and Talbots?
The Hanoverian Guards wore British Royal Livery, so red with blue facings and gold-yellow lace with a purple central stripe.

Sadly Povodine and Mercurochrome makes for a very limited palatte!
I have been known to do some modelling on quieter nights 'on proximate call'.

Definitely two-legged primates, as far as I know. The House of Welf/Guelph links the British throne with those of Hanover, both Brunswicks, and a dispossessed early Medieval line of Dukes of Bavaria (replaced by the Wittelsbachs who ruled until 1918, and whose current head is the last of the Stuarts).

I prefer my version. I think it's a heraldic beaver-like animal.
