Firstly, the next unit of Scottish Shot has been started - four done, and four more to go. When those are completed, that will give me two basic 4-point factions for the project. I'm aiming for larger of course.....

| The Scots shot - start of the second unit. |
Here they are in a different setting, and more detail of the rear rank.
 |
| Even the grey-haired veterans are called to the ranks... |
Here they make a bloody last stand - maybe some of this in a few weeks time?
 |
| Stand firm, my lads!.... |
I also decided to give myself a break from painting Hodden grey (or variations of it), this week, and painted up my first character - Master Thomas Playwell. He's a Perry Miniatures fifer, from one of the command packs in the ECW range. I quite like him! He was quite quick to paint up, given the lack of equipment, and is something a bit different. I'm lucky enough to be married to a re-enactment drummer/fifer, so a few questions her way about paint colours for the fife, and I was away. He has a morale-altering capability in 'Donnybrook' - again, more details and a longer post after Partizan. Here he is with his activation card from the playing deck, and in action.
Hope you like 'em! See you soon. Apologies for the brevity, but.....just under three weeks to go!!!! See you soon.
