No posts for half a year and then two in as many days. It is a bit like waiting for a bus! Now that the TYW/ECW painting has been concluded for the time being (I imagine that there will be more in the fullness of time), it is time to start work on the next unit for Steve's Sudan collection. These have been waiting for far too long. At his request, they are wearing their red frocks as ordered at the Battle of Ginnis, 1885. I toyed with the idea of painting them in a plain red service frock without the cuff detail but I decided that, for the sake of visual interest, I would paint this on. The Cameron tartan is VERY simplified on these figures but I think it works. Only another thirty-two figures to do. Figures are, naturally, Perry Miniatures.

Tartan's always a bugger to paint, but you've done it nicely.
These are beautiful work and you have to simplify the Cameron tartan, it would be impossible to paint it one hundred per cent accurately in this scale....your approximation looks just right to me!
Very nice indeed!
Having to paint tartan. That way lie madness. You have done a great job on them. I would have launched mine across the room long since.
Lovely work on the tartan Mark…
Keeping it clean and simple is always the best way to go.
All the best. Aly
