From Millsy - 28mm ECW Scots (80 points)

These were, believe it or not, the last unpainted ECW miniatures I owned until last night. Now they have joined over 200 infantry, 70 cavalry and assorted other bits and pieces to form my completed ECW project. Of course something like that is never truly "complete" but I have no plans for more and certainly need a break.

This submission is 16 x 28mm Renegade Miniatures Scots muskets, painted up as the two sleeves of shotte to go with my recent pike submission, Once again luverly sculpts and very easy to paint.

Despite what I had thought it turned out these was some plaid amongst these which slowed things down a bit but it's worth it. Why paint Scots without it?

Here's the whole unit together including command, pike and shotte...

And here's all the ECW I have painted in this Challenge. I will post some pics of the whole army on my blog sooner rather than later but it will take time to set up and shoot given the size.

I must say there is a tremendous sense of satisfaction that goes with completing something like this and I am mindful that Curt and his Challenge are a large part of why the project has been completed in the space of just a few years. Thanks Curt!

Time to think of something else to do... Suggestions? :-)


From Curt:

Those look brilliant laddy!  I'm sure it's genetic, but I love the look of all that hodden grey and blue bonnets ranked up, especially with their brother unit of pike - fantastic. 

I look forward to seeing the group shote (shotte?)!
