Jacobite - The Clans are Gathering

 A few more test paints, working on how to paint different tartans.





Am working on a 'red' tartan now.

Heaven help me when I do a piper. My source book has him illustrated with a tartan jacket and a kilt with a different tartan and red and whited diced socks.

Anyone spot the 'indeliberate' error?

    1. Thanks Ray

      They are a commission for a friend and I've never done much in the way of tartan except for the Government Sett.

  2. Jim,

    These are miniature works of art! I don’t know how you painted them, but the results are very impressive!

    All the best,

    Bob

    1. Thanks Bob, very welcome. I could tell you how to paint them but you will tell me that you do not have the skill or the eye-sight to do so.

      They'll be going to a cottage not too far away from the duchy.

  4. Very nice indeed. I have always been intimidated by tartan (and diced hose etc.) so can only admire your patience and skill.
    Is it the cockade on the second one? :-)

    1. The commission came as a follow up to some Government forces so I was sort of obliged to do tartan. I had to experiment to get the right balance of detail which I could achieve.

      It is the cockade on the second figure, and his shoes.

  5. Stunning, Jim.
    If Alan's a very good boy he might get to play with them.
