Bill, an absolutely superb little vignette. The work of creating the jingling Johnny is inspirational, and very clever!!! Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes loo. Well done indeed!!!

Thanks folk, it was fun to do (and educational regading the basing) A note to Phil in particular - that armored chef's glove I mentioned some time ago has now saved my left hand from lacerations on several occasions!

Mentioned elsewhere that I had gotten for Christmas English and Scots Flodden painted armies from EBay. The main part of the Scots army is now based up. About 320* figures (including the 80 additional that I painted from scratch). All the pikes needed touching up and most of the other figures had some re-painting. As you can tell I like doing flags:

The Center (with part of the Reserve behind):


The Center Left and Left (Highlanders missing as yet):


The Right (command only - Highlanders still have to be added):


Notes on the pictures are at the blog here:

* which makes the 54,000 mentioned in another thread equal to several of my lifetimes of painting!

Indeed no. This is a photo of Johnny Carmangle, Runcorn's Best Dressed (Biped that Identifies as a) Man 2017, and part time (because he's not very good) Cary Grant impersonator.
