Scotland Forever!!!
« on: October 08, 2013, 13:21:34 »
Hi folks...!!!  :wave:

Long time ago I have a dream....find a solution to make scottish.
This is impossible with the standard pieces and we need put the hands to work.
Few months ago I make a stovepipe hat for the 71º Rgth. of higlanders.....but this soldiers have not the typical image...maybe because dont use the Kilt??

Well....first step....the hats.
I see basically 3 types....the beret, beret with feathers and beret with big feathers.
To decorate this berets I use the same vinyl sticker for the stopepipes....but on the versions with feathers we have problems to put the sticker....for this reason I decided make this berets on 2 parts......a base and a top.
Also, I see there are berets with or without visor....??.....well.....I make 2 types of base.
Then....we choose a base and a top...put the sticker....glued base and top.....and Play !!!.... ;D

I finished this nigth the version with big feathers....but for the moment we can see some images of all this....go

Well.....combining this parts we can make 6 versions of the beret....  8}

The next challenge is make the "kilt".....the typical scottish-skirt.
The big problem is found the good proportions....because the playmo-legs are very short.
According to the regulations, the skirt falls just above the knee.
In campaing dress they use a short gaiter....I like this option.....the town-dress without gaiter, all the leg with sock.... :-[

To decorate the Kilt....we can choose a lot of scottish designs....very hard to paint with a brush.....and I ask for help to my friend Bendalator to make some vynil stickers.
On Napoleonic Time, the Government try to apply a Standard design for all the scottish Kilt....the Black Watch....and this no coincide with any scottish Clan desing.
Nevertheless, some Clan use his own desig.....like Cameron or Gordon....
Well.....I go to make the Black Watch and this two Clan....Cameron-Gordon

We can combined 6 hats variants and 3 kilt design..... 8}

Also, I make a new british style backpack.... ;)

After this.....just need make a bag-pipe.....and the little front bag ( sporran )

I go to show the first Test with the kilt decoration....I hope you like all this....soon more pics

Malone....after all your Napoleonics, I'm beyond surprises from Malone.... but now, this Scot....so so unbelievably perfect....I have been wishing for a Scot from Fi?ures but now, even a Fi?ures Scot comes out, it'll look pale compared to yours...down to his socks and shoes.
your skills, master of all masters!

It's not a skirt.

Richard, yours was probably customed so many years back and still looks very PM to me...they are good enough for me (most of us dont have Malone's talent to make those legs/shoes/gaiters/socks) btw, the bayonets looks chromed?!) thanks for sharing again!
