I finished up the lancers apart from colouring the edges of the unit flags which I will (hopefully) have time do tonight. Then I will take some pictures.

very pleased how the basing turned out......they're painted very well too 

Also started fleshing some details about doing a refight of the Battle of Dunbar next year. Its the 370th anniversary on Sept 3 2020.....not as big as Cheriton but will use all Scots the units that I have...apart from Highlanders. 

[d_Guy]

Dunbar would be a great battle to see done! (Surprise Cromwell from the rear with your Highlanders - if the "Haughs of Cromdale" can resurrect Montrose why not you?  )

Hope your daughter continues to get healed up.

The highlanders did turn up 95 years later in 1745...found no sign of Cromwell but did find General Cope's army at Prestonpans and beat them decisively.

Bella is recovering well thanks DGuy....in a spinebrace for another 6 weeks though.

'I' faith,' quo' Johnnie, 'I got sic flegs
Wi' their claymores an' philabegs;
If I face them again, deil break my legs!
Sae I wish you a' gude morning'.

[d_Guy]

One of the great pipe tunes.

OK so here a some pictures of the 5 lancer units that I took first thing this morning before going to work:









I had to look up what a philabeg was Mike

A Phil-a-beg is when you really, really, really want Techno to sculpt something.

Pure class! As our Scots brethren may say.
