Question about Tartan Colors on the Pipe's

[megroot]

I'm almost there with te bust of Carl Reid "Gordon Highlander Piper".
I painted the cover of the pipebag in the Tartan from the Gordon Highlanders:


As goos as it is, I finished this one. Started with the cords between the drone's and in my research I found this picture:


As you all can see there is a great difference between the bag and the cords.
What is right:
- should I paint the cords the same as the bag
- should I paint the cords the same as in the picture.

It is more and more confusion.
After seen this I don't know where to go.

This is also a image from a drone ribbon from a Gordon Highlander.

Hey Mark, you missed out big time last weekend. The World Pipes and Drums Championships were held in Glasgow. 250 Pipe bands and 80.000 punters watching.

Field Marshall Montgomery from Northern Ireland were winners of group one and they wear a cord between the drones with a cord ribbon. They are a civilian band though so perhaps the army wear tartan ribbons across the pipes.

Hope the web helps.

Marc, how about contacting the Gordon Highlanders museum in Aberdeen. Explain what you are doing and include a photo and they might be able to help. www.gordonhighlanders.com

Hello Marc
Because
I always flew away when seeing a figure with a Tartan .

But it is a challenge that has to be forfilled.
I must admit that painting straigtlines is not the thing I manage. But I dealed with it, and every stroke it is gonna be better.
The next figure with a Tartan will be better, and will be this figure: http://www.planetfigure.com/threads...-1854-grenadier-miniatures-new-release.56696/
