Finished up the 6mm Jacobite army for my Killiecrankie project. Here are some pictures of this rather small army:

The entire army on display (six units of Highlanders, one unit of Irish, two cavalry detachments and the comanders Ewan Cameron and Bonnie Dundee.


Some Highlander bases on the march.


Purcell's Irish


Mounted Highlander Gentlemen and Dundee's cavalry.


Cameron (left) and Bonnie Dundee (right). I modelled Ewan armored as he apparently wore helmet and cuirass and mail. After painting up Dundee to look a bit dandy, I read an account indicating he wore a helmet with fur trim. I think I prefer the dandy look.


...anyway, more pictures and background information here: https://lecoqfou.blogspot.com/2024/09/jacobites-completed.html?m=1

Great stuff Streetgang  :-bd

You must have 30/30 vision to be able to paint 6mm figures to that superb standard!  :) 
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
we are not now that strength which in old days
moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are.
