Iron Duke 93rd Highlanders (update 12/10/19)
« on: December 01, 2018, 01:51:36 PM »
Managed to get a half pack done and I'm part way through another four, I've got quite a few of these to get through and this thread will help me push on and get the unit done (hopefully).
Highlander figures have a very "busy" uniform, there's 23 different paints in the palette for these alone and that's before any mixing takes place.
So slow and steady is the key to make sure I don't miss any of the excellent detail on these fantastic Paul Hicks sculpts.
Without blowing too much smoke up Mr Hicks behind I have to say these are some of the best figures out there, they really are top notch.
Each one is a little character with their lovely plumed bonnets and big bushy beards.
At the moment there is only an advancing pack available but a command pack and skirmish pack are on their way I believe.

In our defense though,
I seem to remember that in 1797 at Fishguard the French were seen off by women wearing traditional garb! Thereby saving Britain from "it's last invasion" ;) :)

Love these. I'm going to wait till the command and skirmishers are out  before I order some more, but now I'm very inspired. Really like that somewhat orange tinge to the 'Brown Holland'  cloth!
