Scots Royalist c 1645
« on: February 09, 2017, 01:37:46 PM »
Hi all,
I would like to share with you some pics of my Scots Royalist Army c. 1645
Starting with some Pike and Shot
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. – Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi

Here is my interpretation of a frame gun. The carriage is scratchbuilt, wheels from Airfix Napoleonic French line artillery and gun barrels from naval swivel guns

All pictures were taken at the peak of the battle when Miltiades came. (My camera was out of battery  :-[ )

The Scots managed to break 5 battle groups losing only two, achieving a marginal win.

Thank you, gentlemen!
Here is one last picture from the battle. Oliver Cromwell, encouraging his troops.
One of the few Testudo miniatures I have, the are full of character!
I like very much this particular base and I promise another post devoted to it.
