I hope you won't take this the wrong way if I suggest that you are ever so slightly insane  It's fantastic work; I follow your blog and am amazed at the sheer volume of painting that you do – as well as how well you do it. Do you have any plans (or even any idea) about how you are going to display everything when you have finished? If you are crazy, it's good crazy – keep it up! |

I enjoy reading your blog. Great job on all those kilts. Figures all look amazing. Even have a highlander mooning the French. At least one would ASSume its French he's mooning. |

Well we've all thought about it but you actually went and did it. My congratulations. |

And you can scoff at people who think 36 figures is a battalion. |

Lovely! Gives a true meaning to the thin red line. WR |

Thanks chaps! All your kind comments mean a lot. With regards to sanity…I'm starting to wonder! :) Chris, in answer to your question – one day, when I win that lottery and can buy a barn, I envisage each brigade on it's own shelf (long enough, for example, to have these Camerons/the 28th/the 32nd/and the first Rifles all in one unbroken line). Ashenduke, they are rather bumptious aren't they? Thanks again everyone. |

Then you will need the french… I surmise that will not be an issue? What rules are you using? |

Magnificent! Crazy, but magnificent none the less! :-) |

Great stuff, and a terrific project. I especially admire the way you have taken on a Scottish battalion – you must feel like you have the Cameron tartan imprinted on the insides of your eyelids by now. |
| Lord Hill | 17 Nov 2012 2:39 a.m. PST |
Yes Plutarch, there was definitely a feeling of "it's downhill from here" – each highland figure takes almost twice as long as a normal British figure (which in turn takes double the time of a French soldier in greatcoat). And of the 3 highland regiments, the Camerons have the most tedious tartan! I'm doing the 28th next – and it will seem like a holiday to do trousers and shakos! |

Make sure you finish before you go blind. |
| Dirk Tietten | 22 Nov 2012 11:35 a.m. PST |
Great work
In what for formation you will put the highland figures?
Sometimes I make a 1to1 too
