As a fan of both the cannon and the new series I love these. Great painting!

The woman.

And also the woman (of dubious and questionable memory).

You opted against the revamped version in 'undress' mode then?  ;D

I have just realised that I have been following this from the begining and have still not posted anything....
Shame on me!

A fantastic concept and brilliant interpretation.
Great paintjobs are nailing the characters perfectly.

Very well done!

Thanks, chaps.

I did consider portraying modern Irene in "battle dress", as she puts it, but, given the outdoor basing, I thought that might be a bit much.  This is London's Belgravia, after all, not Newcastle's Bigg Market!

Brilliant! The paint effect on the dog's face is spot on.

Thanks, folks.  I stuck closely to Conan Doyle's description of where the phosphorus paint was applied.

Oh, dear, I hope that isn't a spoiler ...
