Front Rank Scots guards, painted for Sedgemoor or the Boyne. I gave them a little pyramid of grenades to keep them well supplied.

Those are lovely - on good figures. Does anyone know how the Front Rank figures for the 1745 scale with the Flags of War figures?

I love the faces on these. They are realistically pale for European skin, and I like the fact you have done actual eyebrows!

. The Front Rank Rebellion range is a lot smaller than the Flags of War range. If I was to choose, it would be stick with the Flags of War range, they are fantastic figures.

Thanks lads for the comments. I’ve painted a few portraits in my time, so pride myself in painting figures faces.

Marvellous painting. The faces are some of the most realistic I've seen.
