Nice job on the Cameron tartan! (but shouldn't the facings be blue for the Queen's Own?)

[Mr.Marx]

Drat! Foiled!
You're probably right, but I only realised this after painting them.

With a very thin brush, and much foul language.

[gamer Mac]

Skirts!! 

I don't think I will even mention that 
As for the facings I am no expert but I looked into it a bit when I was painting mine and the Perry's site said that the facings on the Scottish regiments were yellow

[Will Bailie]

They look fantastic, and I could never do such a good job.

For facings, the 79th Highlanders had green facings, but when the regiment became the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders they got blue facings.  IIRC, Cardwell reforms of 1881 generally assigned white facings to English and Welsh regiments, yellow to the Scottish ones and green to the Irish, blue to the "royal" regiments (ie, if the title of the regiment was Royal (name), King's Own or Queen's Own).  There were of course exceptions.

But as I usually mock the button counters, I now feel dirty for becoming one myself...
