Well, after a little while off I've finally stumbled back into what was my hobby mojo and it's pleasantly surprising to be reminded of photos like this ….



….. I was thinking the next terrain mini project would be more English Medieval Houses but it might now be the rest of the Scottish village. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I have about 30 minis on the go, most of which are fairly simple conversions requiring hats &/or helmets to be replaced with bonnets. Here are a couple more advanced conversions:

First up is the Command Group. The General is a Bicorne trooper with added sash and feathers. The 3 foot figures are all Bloody Miniatures though the preacher is unchanged. The 3 figure movement tray is by OSHIROmodels and will be textured in due course.







Next up is a small artillery piece: a Bicorne Frame Gun. The two crew are each Bloody conversions, one of a grenade thrower and the other of a looter with barrel. Both had riding boot legs which have been swapped out for shoes and a change of posture, plus added tools. The gun is fixed to the OSHIROmodels tray though the crew are removable should they become casualties.

Jolly nice work

This is a tremendous thread. I love your conversions and your buildings. Do you plan to have any Scots in kilts?

[Silent Invader]

Thanks chaps

Do you plan to have any Scots in kilts?

It depends if Bloody Miniatures make them 

More seriously, I'm not too worried about having kilted Highlanders. I've got more than enough figures to be getting on with for the time being. The Bicorne Highlanders are nice but just a bit too samey for what I want in this project.

Lovely conversions.

If you want to order 2 or 3 packs and split them i wouldnt mind.

Thanks for the suggestion but they're not a priority. Sorry

A few different angles of the General's aide:

Well done! The transformations are very successful. 

[carlos marighela]

Very nice conversions!

Of course Richard of Bloody Miniatures must have caught wind of your plans and decided to release his artillery crew out of pure spite.

[Silent Invader]

Thanks both 

No, Richard very much came first: I'm just anticipating his releases. One of his guns and crew will defo be joining the project.
