Highland Laddies.

A few photos of my Napoleonic Highlanders. The 79th Cameron Highlanders and the 92nd Gordon Highlanders. Figures are from Front Rank and flags from GMB Designs.

    Some lovely work there. You've nailed both the tartan and the argyle. What size are you bases - there's an appreciable sense of mass to them.

    You have totally nailed those colours and complex patterns - guess you've earned yourself some single malt and a haggis!

    Very nice looking. I have some Victrix figures sitting there waiting to be painted but the Tartan scares me !

    Great painting, I tried to do tartan, didn't look good so painted it a solid color. I'll try tartan again down the road.

    Really nice work. I always appreciate the effort to do the Scots, with their tartan and stripey socks needing special time consuming attenion to detail. Fantastic result.
    Like the title too, puts me in mind of that scene from "A Bridge too Far", when a Scots officer shouts 'Run laddie!' to one of his paratroopers trying to carry a parachuted cargo pod. Great stuff
