Wee Friends Culloden Highlander 54mm

An excellent piece of work. I'd stick with the flag: more visually effective.

Happy New Year,

A great job on a challenging figure David. I hope to have my version complete sometime next week so your post will serve as inspiration.

Hi David, yet again youv'e done another wee beauty. Looked at getting this figure before xmas but decided not to. Now i have to get it. How about a photo of each for the box art, musket on the front and flag on the back! Its def a hard choice to make but i think the one with the flag is for me.

I'm pretty sure the Stewarts of Appin carried a Yellow Saltire on Blue, lt's possible the Second Battalion of Atholl's Brigade carried a blue saltire on white. The First Battalion of the same brigade are known to have carried white colours with red saltires, I think these often reflected the colours of the chiefs / colonels arms. Or maybe it's because we scots are just a bit more rock and roll.

Thanks for the explanation Derek, and a great Hogmanay to all the Jocks.

Dave that is an Awesome figure by all means, and I do agree with you that it is a hrad decision to choose between the musket and the flag, but.............

I would GO FOR THE FLAG BLINDFOLDED because, how many options and chances we have of displaying a standard bearer in our hobby????

I mean the musket pose is more common IMHO, while a standard bearer would send shivers down most painters' spines

Anyway it is your choice after all, and would be a great fifure with either or

Wish you and your loved ones and all my Scottish brothers a Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2010.

Excellent work, you have handled both the musket and the flag with great skill. For me the flag is the one I would go with, it's more dramatic and does not detract from the figure. Overall creating a more spectacular piece.

Thanks Sergey and Roc for taking a look, still not came to a final decision about the flag.
