Crossing Cock Beck

A small scene of Lancastarians fleeing the battle across the infamous Cock Beck on the flank of the field. Seeing it for real last summer, struck me what a hard route out it was. And made me think of making this base. It shows some Percy and a Somerset retainer pursued by Sir Henry Vavasour and an anonoumous light cavalry man. See my posting on the battlefield for more on the landscape and Vavasour. I started this thinking I would enter Winston's WoRs vignette competition on LEF, but I never got past undercoating the figures before the cloase date. I'm a very slow worker, and the liquid water added a new dimension too. But happy with the dynamism and the new techniques I used.
