First battalion ever, finally finished

[Fitz]

I've finally finished my first ever battalion for Black Powder, with the colours of the 91st Regiment of Foot. I didn't know when I chose them that the 91st was a Scottish regiment, but fortunately for me they gave up their kilts about 1809 (I think). These are all from the contents of a box of 1/72 HäT plastic Peninsular War British.

The Light Company has a couple of detachments from the 95th Rifles, because I'm in the process of rewatching Sharpe for the umpteenth time. I've based them individually on 12.5mm (½ inch) steel washers and made a pair of magnetized sabot bases for them.

The next battalion will be kilted Scots, because I feel the need to torture myself a bit. They'll be 1/72 Strelets plastics.

You'll be wondering why you started when you have painted a couple of tartan kilts.

Bloody well done too

This is how madness starts.....

Looking good fella, keep going!

Cool. In that case I can justify buying more mini's as i have never started a project 

Actually, I don't know why I'm laughing

I've got a box of Strelets Highlanders in Attack primed with black gesso, ready to be painted. I've painted tartan before (see this old post) but never in this scale, and only on individual figures, not as a production line.

And so, work on the Second Battalion begins!

Oh my, you need a pot of tartan paint.

No, no, no, no, nooooo!  The tartan is the EASY bit.  Wait till you have to paint all those pink and white diced socks......
