Thanks Mate, I don’t have the first book but been reading and using these as reference for the project as well as Mr Google. .

Added a French design gibernes accoutrements including powder flask and bayonet. These were obsolete kit by the time of the battle in 1746, with many donated to the Jacobite cause.

All items in white made from scrap bits of styrene and sculpted in a mix of Greenstuff/Apoxie putty. Gun and bayonet end from Reedees Miniatures.

Thank you Pete, very kind of you to say.

Made a start with the painting, blocking in the main colours for now, lots of detailing to do including painting tartan pattern on the plaid.
Priming with Alclad 2 then painted with JoSonja acrylics.

 

[DioramaArt]

Splashing some more paint about on the Jacobite, might add some diamond pattern to socks and musket yet to finish. Added a design on his bum bag (Gibernes) these were donated to the Rebellion as obsolete military kit by the French.

 

[Henk]

It's good to see the paint hitting the figures. Nice detail on the plaid.

Absolutely superb sculpting, converting and animation. Again this shows what can be done with some inexpensive kits and a lot of imagination.

Thank you, really enjoyed putting this figure together and bringing him to life with paint.

Thanks Mike. I think sculpting from scratch is the way to go as easier than converting an existing figure and really loved the process. My first sculpt in this scale and only the second one I’ve ever attempted. Really pleased with how he turned out. There are a few errors (think his feet are a little big) but once added to the scenic base will blend into the diorama nicely.

 

[DioramaArt]

Started work on a second Jacobite, using a red tone tartan as captured as souvenir from Cullodon.

 

[DioramaArt]

Now it’s cool enough in the U.K. to do some painting, been Working on Barrell’s 4th Foot. The 4th took the brunt of the casualties for the government side during the battle of Culloden. Still lots to do on them but getting there.
