Shaping up nicely Kevin.
I like the picture of the Bugler as well. We don't see too many Highlander Buglers.

The Highlander is from the Duke of Albany ...there is lace on the arms , can't quite make the medal out ...yet!

The bugler is 72nd I think and it looks like the Crimea medal, he's a bandsman.

Mc Nap,
On a serious note just love to have a 1/9th Bust depicting each of the Scottish Regiments and Irish Regiments dated 1881. In various Dress Order, Ranks,and Trades, so as to break up the monotony of similar uniforms.
I Have even thought of commissioning it myself

Hi Guys

Bit of an update ...the lower part of the bonnet ( squares ) are all finished ...working on the plume ...and then the badge ....

Then the collar , epaulettes , main tunic,sash , medal etc

Took the pipe off will reposition when it's safer! ...clumsy Nap!

[Scotty]

Just remember the Watch have a dark blue/black square at the intersection of the bonnet dicing. He probably wished he was 93rd but not everybody can! Looking good matey.
