From the Scrap Box - British Infantry

I have started painting some of the British castings, starting with some highlanders. Having now been through the whole contents of the box I had enough figures for 10 Westphalian battalions, two French, three Belgian, three Dutch, two highland and four British.  I currently have 11 units on the painting table at various levels of completion, plus an artillery battery.

Here are the latest - highlanders painted up as the Black Watch:

I am very pleased as to how these figures turned out.  Some of the British line are equally promising and they should be finished soon. Using the casting kits that I acquired I am experimenting with converting some French to Brunswickers.

  1. Your Prince August restorations are simply brilliant, Bob.

    1. You are too kind; however, I am pleased that I gave it a go as I now have some useful figures.

    1. They were amongst several hundred poorly painted/half painted Prince August figures. I have had them hanging around for over 20 years and they weigh a ton. I almost scrapped them, until I thought of renovating them to form an 1815 allied army. They scrub up quite well.

    2. Don't they just! They look great - and, en masse, the armies will look really something!

  3. I was thinking they don't look like Warrior Highlanders then I remembered they are Prinz August - doh!

    1. I am still working on my Warrior collection and have several units on the painting table - mostly cavalry.
