Must admit I am not too happy with this one. I am rubbish at detailing and fine lines so I knew it would be a struggle. I was going to strip and start again but I wouldn’t get it better until my skills improve so he can wait until such time I am able to get it better. Another interesting semi flat from Ken Farrar and my first Crimean subject.

Well painted but I,m sorry to point out you have painted his kilt in the Gordon tartan.The 93rd wear the Black Watch which has no yellow line.Sorry

Told you I was rubbish Can I change the title to 92 Gordon Highlanders? Thanks Pete

Hello Graham --- for a first attempt at tartan you have a good hand. Somewhat envious of your line work. Sadly however the option of changing the heading to that of the 92nd The Gordon Highlanders will not work. The Gordon's have a different sporran --- 2 black tassels on a white sporran. Scottish Regimental uniforms are at times complex.
A good starting point is -> Regimental Tartans | Scottish Tartans Authority
Sorry! Still envious of the paint work on the kilt.

Thanks Bob, I was only joking about the title I have no worries about holding my hands up to my mistakes. Many thanks for your comment and the useful information

excellent paintwork

Mobo

Thanks again Mobo

Cheers Nap, may just leave him as an example of how not to do it

I think you've done a good job on the painting Graham, The red of the jacket is very well done as is the rest. (I am sure you can rescue the tartan).

We will see lol, thanks Bob

Just had to go and look to see that my tartan was right
Great painting on this and very neat work.
Cheers
Ken

Course it is Ken Many thanks

I have changed the tartan so he can stay like this until I put him in the stripper bath if ever I get good enough to attempt this one again.

Leave him alone. You work fast.

Cheers Bob

Cheers a Steve. I can see the point of doing that but I would rather strip and repaint if it starts to bug me. Maybe just one for the back dark corner of the cupboard

Nice, tidy work Graham. As has been said, Scots Regiments are a minefield.

Phil

They certainly are Phil Still, lesson learned, never do another tartan
