42nd Rgt. of Foot "Black Watch" (2): Eight men finished !

Finally I was able to get something finished! After some kind of lean time I managed to spend some time with my highlanders this weekend. Two weeks after I posted a picture of the first brave Scotsman a third of the unit is finished:
The Officer, one of the Ensigns and six Privates finished.
Although each and every of the miniatures has its small faults, I think they turned out well. Therefore I'll proceed with the same technique for the other members of the unit.

Close-ups of three kilted soldiers.
The next eight are already on the workbench and I painted the basic tartan today. I hope to be able to advance steadily this week.

But tomorrow will be under the sign of D. I. Y. My wife and I bought two new glass cabinets for the wargaming stuff. Tomorrow we'll put them together and rearrange our flat a bit. I'll present some pictures when it's done...

  5. Fantastic. Although it looks pretty cool, I'm glad I don't have any armies that require tartan. You did a marvelous job though.
