Re: A splash of colour from the highlanders

Thank you all for the kind comments! I only have 20/40 vision these days so I'm unable to produce the miniature works of art that come anywhere near the work of my fellow enthusiasts on here, but it's an enjoyable hobby all the same.

Yes these are 1914 Highlanders as the cut of the uniform was unchanged from the Boer War, and the position of his rifle hides the ammo pouches. Aside from making the cap all that needs to be done is to square off the round canteen. I build wargame armies, so while an odd bareheaded fellow may appear somewhere in the ranks, you do get four per box; it looks wrong to have a whole company of troops who have lost their headgear, so I was left with a lot of unused figures - and that particular one is such a magnificent sculpt, I really wanted to do *something* with him!

Now if could just make a Vickers machine gun crew to go with them.......
