    54mm Resin, Sculpted by Vladimir Danilov, offered by Castle Miniatures.

    These figures were painted with oils over an acrylic base. Only the tartans were painted in acrylics with a minor oil wash. The base is a chunk of drift wood found locally along the river with air clay added as the base for the figures, along with standard ground work to finish the affect.

    This is an incredibly well sculpted set, especially in this scale, and was a taunting challenge I just couldn’t pass up. This was truly a fun run and well worth stretching my comfort zone. These figures are Classic!

    This was well worth the wait to see the end result, it's amazing to see you kept the same high standard of painting throughout the project.
    Figures are placed just right to tell the story.

    Fabulous to see the final results Ski,
    you gotta be proud of this mate!

    So much detail & cannot believe your productivity on this.
    Especially like way you’ve blended all the figures into the groundwork. Each seem to fit & are part of overall composition.
    Fitting conclusion to this whole journey you shared with us thanks!

    What are your favourite figures & parts of this project?

    Thanks, Mike, greatly appreicated. Favorite fig, the Hatchet Man, and the funnest part, after 9 tartans I'd say the ground work, HA! It was all fun on this run, honestly.

    Cheers, Ski.
