Hi all!

I have been asked to paint Romeos Piper Kenneth Mackay as a 92nd Gordon highlander!
Apart from the tartan what else will need addressing to convert this figure?

Due to time considerations I cannot get into any major conversion work so any advice or ideas for quick and easy ways to change this fellow over would be greatly appreciated :)

PS ... I loath working in White Metal :( But I couldn't resist painting that face :)

hi Mark done some research through my uniform books

Should be a relatively easy conversion:

The regimental lace is the same shape and spacing was the same so just paint them as 92nd.

The collar and cuff facings were yellow for the 92nd

then different tartan

hat the same
