They look terrific.  :-*

What makes them really work is some of the grass colours in the backdrop match the colour of your flock, making it look very real. ;D

Thanks chaps. I'm very pleased with the result.

Am also very pleased with the suitability of the picture for the backdrop. Obvs I didn't take the photo with this use in mind so I was very fortunate to have it.

But you aren't ruling out the possibility that you re-turfed a large-ish section of some Scottish glen with a view to matching your flock?

Blooming heck Steve that looks perfect. Hard to tell it's not a real shot.

I really like seeing your foam and hill shaping, you do such a great job on the underlying forms to make them roll like real ground. I liked your bore board too.

Cheers

Re: Bonnie Scotland, 17thC: UD 14/10 Bagpiper Conversions

Thanks Matt, appreciated.  :)

In the meantime, I've converted a couple more Bloody Miniatures into bagpipers.

The piper arms are from Anvil Industry. The legs below the knee are from the Bicorne and Renegade ranges, as I wanted shoes and the original minis were in boots.

Really like what you’ve done with buildings, they could be used from Bannockburn, upto and beyond Culloden.

Thanks all.  :)

The pipers are now in the painting queue

Really like what you’ve done with buildings, they could be used from Bannockburn, upto and beyond Culloden.

Yes the Fogou buildings are a great resource. I am very pleased with them.
