Slow going … Black Watch tartan

I am working on the Black Watch kilts and socks in batches of 12, and sub-batches of six. My plan is to finish the lower parts of all the miniatures before beginning the tunics etc.

This is a painstaking process … and for all the effort only an approximation of the real thing. From my experience of painting Private Thomas Edwards I know that once shaded the overall effect will be just fine.

Meanwhile, the Bengal Cavalry languish … and I gestate a new project in a new period, of which more soon.

Imperfect, but beginning to look the part.
