Battles often rage in the home of Harry Boraston. He has already enacted the skirmish at
Battles often rage in the home of Harry Boraston. He has already enacted the skirmish at Edge Hill and his latest venture is Waterloo. For Mr. Baraston, of Mason Avenue, Lillington, has been making model soldiers for several years. He is a military history enthusiast and a former soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He has just completed the painstaking task of making and painting hundreds of scale model soldiers depicting the Battle of Waterloo. " It is a facinating battle, " said Mr. Baraston. " I have a great admiration for Napolean and I think he was unlucky to lose." Although his children, 11-year-old Mark and Susan (seven), take part in Harrys war Games it is more than kids play to him. " Many people with an interest in military history re-enact battles of this sort. It is getting to be a popular hobby throughout the country.

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Battles often rage in the home of Harry Boraston. He has already enacted the skirmish at Edge Hill and his latest venture is Waterloo. For Mr. Baraston, of Mason Avenue, Lillington, has been making model soldiers for several years. He is a military history enthusiast and a former soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He has just completed the painstaking task of making and painting hundreds of scale model soldiers depicting the Battle of Waterloo. "It is a fascinating battle" said Mr. Baraston. "I have great admiration for Napoleon, and I think he was unlucky to lose". Although his children, 11-year-old Mark and Susan (seven), take part in Harry's war games, it is more than kids play to him. Many people with an interest in military history re-enact battles of this sort. It is getting to be a popular hobby throughout the country. This print captures Mr. Baraston's passion for historical accuracy as he meticulously crafts each miniature soldier by hand before bringing them to life with vibrant colors on their uniforms. Through these intricate models, one can almost hear the thunderous roar of cannons and feel the tension on that fateful day at Waterloo when two mighty forces clashed for supremacy. As we gaze upon this snapshot from 1978, let us appreciate not only Mr. Baraston's dedication but also how hobbies like these connect us with our past while igniting our imagination.
