Very nice looking unit and excellent modular basing!

I trust you are pronouncing Menzies correctly.

Now that you mention it I am 

Up until that very  moment it was Min-zees! Thanks!

[Westmarcher]

Love the basing Bill very scottish you can almost imagine the midges!

Yes.    The basing is very good. I can imagine finding a few golf balls in there! 

[Womble67]

Very good

Take care

Everything looks good  I'd happily play with, admire the work, complement you on the units if I was an opponent.

Joyeous Noel All!

My Christmas gift from my wife are elements of the Opposition Force (English and Scots Royal Armies) for the things I've started on for the 1685 - 1689 period on the Celtic Fringe AND to have them painted by Toxic Pixie. Incidently I count the West-Country as Celtic Fringe since some of it actually is (and the rest sould be  ).

Wanted to get the painting guides posted up on the blog (in case anyone has a spare moment and is so inclined):

- Before shipping off to Pixie next week.

Merry Christmas to you, too, Bill !

Finally back to painting some of my "normal" stuff and the first order of business was to clear off the Monmouth command piece and the Lyme Independent company for the Sedgemoor armies (Urbancohort has inspired me!)

The command piece is in the background (Monmouth in purple coat with telescope). The Lyme IC provides security in the foreground:



A reverse angle view:



There are two sheep on the command stand which I have named "Techno" and "Lemmy". Lemmy is enjoying the salad bar below the slight rise we're Montrose stands, apparently already sensing a loser. Techno, however, appears fascinated and his edging his way toward Monmouth and the officer explaining the lay of the land. It is possible he is a spy for King Jamie!

Since I bought almost the entire Pendraken zoo, I now know where I'll get names for the various creatures as they are deployed. 

[Womble67]

Very nice indeed

Take care

Andy

[DFlynSqrl]

Very nice!

Your Inverlochy scenario gave us a very interesting test of Baroque yesterday, thanks

[d_Guy]

Thanks all!

And Paul - Thanks for the Inverlochy mention.. Glad you and Pierre got to play with Baroque. Since you are heading to the south (in the First Civil War - not the island) to do a more conventional battle I think you'll start to see how well designed Baroque really is.

[Leman]

Lovely bit of work.

[Techno]

Ditto !

Very nice work, Bill ! 

Cheers - Phil.

[Matt J]

lovely work Bill, your basing is particularly evocative 

[Westmarcher]

Impressive stuff. Good work, Bill! 

[toxicpixie]

Very tasty!

[d_Guy]

Thanks again, guys. 

I am also near complete with another "chop shop" job. I need a piper for Dunbarton's at Sedgemoor so:



Took arms and pipes from a Minifig piper, de-armed a Pendraken LoA pikeman and made this (not as yet  finished) piper:



The slight size difference (the Minifig is a bit heftier) makes him look like Popeye after a can of spinach, but he will serve.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice piper!
Mmmmm.... green grass! Yummy

[Terry37]

really creative Bill! I love seeing conversion work like that being done. Just excellent!!!

Terry

[Techno]

Good stuff, Bill.
I HAD wondered why he had his left hand on a sword.....Until I realised that the 'blade' was a streak on the table....D'OH !! 

Cheers - Phil
