The Clans Are Gathering

 One more stand is table ready. The current plan is to have 12 stands of Highlanders in my Scots army. 
This brings me to 9.

1/2 way there for Lennox's Highland levies.

Highlanders, always looking for another angle.....

So Far...

..so good. About 1/2 done.

1/2 Done.
(Is it just me or does the bald but bearded guy bear an eerie resemblance to Graham McTavish in his role of Dougal MacKenzie.)

I have vague memories of another blogger, or maybe a pre-blog webpage, writing about how weakening eyes and increasingly shaky hands was reducing the pleasure of painting miniatures.  Well, over this last year, its begun, a bit at a time. Luckily, I'm fine with simple painting with less detail etc and have found that the reduction in sight also means not noticing the simpler painting style or all but the worst slips or twitches of the brush, or omissions of some detail etc. 

So: "balance in all things". 

While I'm waiting.....

 I decided it would be a good time to paint a few more figures. Since I had recently seen some unpainted 25mm Garrison medieval figures when looking for something else, and there were two votes for the Gathering of Hosts, I decided to dig them out. 

Hmm, not here......Hmm, Hmm, not there, what about in here...  Oh look!  ....I'd forgotten that I still had a dozen of these to paint..... Well, might as well paint a few more of them, and then, maybe a few more, or at least fix a few of the veterans, dropped pikes etc. 

Of course, the new lads will have to see the Woolly Mammoth. (Well, no elephants in Scotland were they?).

40mm resin Highlanders for Rough Wooing/Henry VIII's Wars.
3d Resin figures from Day of Battle , the 40mm option.

  I guess Rough Wooing is up next after all, but north of the border, not across the channel.

(Well, these 2 didn't exactly start as Scots, but, hey! Look! T\hey're flying the Macfarlane arms on their flag.)
