Gunners Highlanders thread, AWI Black Watch

[Gunner Dunbar]

Hi guys

Some 15mm Xan miniatures painted as the 92nd Gordon Highlanders to add to this Highlanders thread, have only painted 18mm ABs at this scale before and the little bit of extra size allowed me to do the bonnet chequers better on the ABs, struggled a little with these Xan, they are more true 15s.

Regardless - they've turned out gorgeous; that tartan!

Lovely work, they look very decent figures, and such a great paint job.

[Gunner Dunbar]

Thanks gents.

Lovely work always lots of respect for painting Highlanders whatever the scale.

Very nice, don't know how you paint them close together on the sticks though. Would drive me loopy

[Gunner Dunbar]

Thanks guys, I actually like painting them on the sticks, it helps with production line painting.

Hi guys

Finished some AWI 28mm Perry Black Watch and mixed Grenadiers on commission, Perry's are lovely figures as usual.

Very nice work indeed...  I have those Perry AWI Black Watch, and they are lovely figures, which you have more than done justice to.

Dan,

The brushwork on those Perry figures looks great! You are the man when it comes to painting highlanders and tartans!!

Cheers,

Thanks gents.

Lovely work, but you might need to re-think the AWI line infantry drummer in the last photo.  He appears to be in a blue coat; however, regiments with dark blue facings did NOT reverse colours for their drums/fifes - they wore a red coat with the Royal lace, which at this size/scale would look yellow.
