1897 Scottish Light Infantry
Very much a generic unit. This lot were started before the Irish but had stalled... as did the Rifle Brigade who I will get on with over thenext few days. Working on the assumption of 'toy' I don't really like spending too much time on tartans but suppose I have to really. Not sure whether I'll be doing any more Scottish units as such.

Braw laddies!
ReplyDeleteOnly time will tell.
DeleteThey look good. The last Highlanders I did I finally managed to go the Britains' simplified route with dark green (or red) base with usually 1 colour of thin overstripe or for those cases where 1 wasn't enough then 1 colour horizontal and one vertical. Up close looks odd but at arms length compared to a highlander across the room, its almost over kill!
ReplyDeleteSure beats my old method of duplicating the sett as closely as possible.
I overcomplicated it - base colour, criss-crossed second colour, then base to fill in where the second colour crossed itself. When I then painted the yellow ochre lines on top most of it vanished...
