Is a relevant bass a fish, a beer, or a stringed instrument nursing a grudge that it gets left out of quartets?

Here's a couple of wip pic of the Highlanders hopefully to be finished this week. Thanks to Leon for getting out my other compo bits out quickly so I can start on the Patton and Hussars this weekend.

Looking good, Matt, especially the cuff detailing.

The pics could do with a bit more exposure, though. You could put them into Photoshop or similar and whack up the exposure/brightness. Failing that, a piece of white card to reflect light might help next time.  :-bd

Exposure is a problem for Scots in high winds, you know.

I agree.
They seem to look very good (considering what you have previously painted), but we don't see very well how good your performance is.

Cheers :-bd

I know  :) (just quick wip snaps so without the whole photo set-up)

They are coming along quite well so I don't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet  ;)

Thanks Ray

I think you have to take advantage of the scale and make units look like units. I don't game I just collect and paint so I try and pick conflicts that are manageable at around a 1-10 ratio.
