Very nice work by Graham. Worthy of an Osprey for sure.

This is far too good for the average Osprey!

Well, what ever! Graham does illustrate Osprey...
But yes, it is top notch for sure.
So is the subject!

Likewise. It is not often I get so much feedback for a particular work.

Thanks.

Maybe you should make some more like this of other RAT members, then. Sure you'll get much feedback on them, if you do...
But yeah, it's already one of my favourite works of you, along with a dromedarius and other cavalrymen.

I find it hard to believe that the self-effacing shy and retiring members of RAT would want a large picture of themselves to decorate their wall. :roll:

I find myself extremely privileged then; I actually have two of them, actually a print and an original. The original shows me and my good wife inside actual centurio's quarters. Both were done in the previous century.
