A fine conversion job, turning the figure from one of an officer of the the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment of Foot into a Scottish officer from The 72nd (Duke of Albany's Own Highlanders) Regiment of Foot. See below for examples of their uniform, with the very distinctive Charle Edward Stewart trews.

Glad to see that this thread has legs. Like Andrew I remebered, somewhere in a box there was old Military Modelling magazines. Looked out the one shown above for April 1977 to check it out for further info. regarding the front cover. Sadly ,there is only a short piece on the index contents page...

Hello Andrew really like your Ensign Mess Kit Series 1st Life Guard -- infact it is MD1 in the Mess Dress Series. The MD series and The Undress Series British and Colonial are simple, but great figures and have stood thetest of timeand all originally for the grand price of £2.75 each. I have...

Hello Del, A request for this information is lodged with Low Parks Museum who hold The Cameronains archive and collection. Thanks for your interest. Yours Aye, Lightbob.

Hi Nap, I am getting painted up Martin Tabony's Cameronians Pipes and Drums. While the figures are in development became aware of the changes to the bugler/drummers swallow wings and the badges of rank, from black on rifle green to silver. The pipers I believe in both uniforms had according...

Hello All, I am keen to know when The Cameronians dress uniform badges of rank, and the trim on the swallow wings etc of bugler/drummers changed from black on a rifle green edging to silver. I can see the black was in existence around 1890 but by 1914 just prior to the outbreak of WW1 it was...

Excellent work, v. impressed.

I have recently taken delivery of this figure. Unfortunately no painting instructions were available. I am in the main o.k . re the painting of the figure but I need advice re the medals shown on the figure. The officer has 3. I can paint the first 2 as Indian General Service Medals -- the 1896...

Thanks Mirof re the centjours site, which is well known to me, and is a part source to my question. As can be seen from the pictures copied from that site of the 92nd they show 2 stripes with most examples but the drum major has a central stripe, with the other two at the sides, though unseen in...

Will try and find examples on line and post "pictures" or hyperlinks.

Typo error in original message . The sentence towards the end of my original post should read --- I am also particularly interested what set was worn by the 92nd at Waterloo.

I can see from a number of references that the Gordon Highlanders wore two different sets on the kilts:- one with 2 gold (yellow) vertical lines seen at the front of the kilt and one with 3 vertical lines. 1. Did these difference come in from the 75th Regiment of foot and from the 92nd The...
