That looks great!

WOW, this 'wee Gordon' sure looks he's been on a very long campaign in Spain ……

I love that you have him wearing a pair of cotton trousers, and sandals as fitting for the time and place.

What other figures from this regiment are you planning? A set of 'at ease' soldiers would make a great diorama, so I'm looking forward to seeing him painted.

Well Done,

John

Thanks John. I ve got somewhat of a blank canvas at the moment, I've been working a lot since Christmas and haven't got around to the next figure yet. I stared to plan a 71st highlander on the retreat from Corruna and then changed it to the retreat from Burgos mainly due to the uniform differences then went off the boil with that idea. Then I did all the research with RWF drummer and then lost interest in that.
So I don't know what to do next probably a highlander but not from the 92 maybe 42nd black watch in kilt an all.
When I get s few days off I will decide what to do.

well here he is after quite some time a Gordon highland private standing at ease in his brown trousers and leather moccasins standing relaxing.

Here is the next soldier in this line a 42nd Blackwatch private. it will be available in around 3 weeks

I am excited you are doing this, and it might attract me as a customer. My concern is that his skirt is a little revealing.

It seems way too much leg above the knee is being show. Am I wrong about this?

Did they wear them differently than the style for traditional kilts these days recommends?

I would think the kilt should go down to his knees and even cover them a little, even in that spread stance.

Cold Steel Miniatures is a new company set up in the UK importing high quality soldiers from China.

It is not a Russian Manufacture

In all of the period images/paintings I've seen, the kilt sits slightly above the knee, such as it the case with this figure, his stance may play into it as well, but it looks spot on to me...……………………….

I shall mark you down as a 'maybe' then.

I'm looking forward to see this figure when he's painted, I'm sure he will be another masterpiece, like you others,

Excellent. I'd be all over this if I collected the era.
Thanks for the photos of a super fine piece.

I have to say I do like those rather fetching little ‘Mini-Kilts’...Well done!
