Archeduke Charles at Aspern

[woody64]

Shortly before Christmas here's my newest Vignette based on a painting by Krafft.

It shows the Archeduke Charles at the battle of Aspern-Esslingen. The Museum add's the comment that the picture was surely inspired by Napoleon crossing the St.Bernhard (J.L.David)

Well done Andreas.

I didn't see this painting before.

Your Lego version is a close match to the painting.

This battle caused the death of one of Napoleons best Marshals (Marshal Lannes)

Nice job, woody, this is very similar to the real thing, and as always, great decals *wub*

One thing I might change though is Charles' head. Mabye use this head, this head or this head, if you've got them.

Other than that, great job *y*

T think I have to ramp up my reservoir of heads. Unfortunately I have none of them ...

And here are the figures:

That's very nice and matching!

Cool, but I wonder, why didn't you use red legs for the him? It's very clear in the painting he has red pants isn't it? X-D

Good question, I still missed that since my available troops didn't have them. But I should change it.

That horse looks a bit wonky in it's hind legs...

Maybe it was a Lippizaner ....

Great work Andreas! *y*

I like how you've made the horse look like it's rearing up. *sweet*

It's very innovative.

This fine vig has been added Index of Painting MOCs.

Hey B, hopefully it's ok that i took the liberty to add this MOC to the index. :-$
