OK, Since Techo asked for more pics here are pics of the five lots of highlanders I have recently completed. All the figures are from Pendraken's 1745 Jacobite Rising range and painted by PaulR :

Stewart of Appin


MacDonnell of Glengarry


Cameron of Lochiel


Campbell of Argyll


Campbell of Auchinbreck


The lot:


Hope you like them Techno, I was typing my post when your one asking for pics appeared

Those are beautiful, well done chaps

[Techno]

Nice one Paul/Peter.

Well worth the wait.

These look really good. 

I've only ever painted highlanders in 6mm; the issue of how to paint tartan (or not) being a tad off putting. What technique did you use or decision did you make when it came to representing tartan at this scale?

[d_Guy]

Indeed, well done P&P! Worth the wait. First time I've seen the Pendraken flags used and they turned out rather good as well.

[Steve J]

Simply wonderful .

Well based Peter, the tufts really add to the wild look

I picked pairs of colours that had fairly high contrast and painted stripes on top of the base colour. The stripes were vertical on the 'kilt' and near horizontal on the bit over the shoulder, basically running across the material. I decided against adding a third colour or trying to do 'checks'

Only the MacDonnells and Stewarts banners are from the PM flagsheet but came out well. The rest l made up in Gimp/paint. I will use the remaining ones with the second batch of highlanders in due course.

On to Gordon Horse next...then l can try out some Alford scenario ideas/assumptions.
