ajlafleche Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Here are two (large) 54mm figures from La Meridianarepresenting the French and English at the battle for Ticonderoga/Fort Carillion in 1758. TheFrenchman is a halberdier in the uniform of the Languedoc Regiment and is stockand posed on a La Meridiana base. The Scot is in a modified uniform of the 42ndRegiment of Foot, the Black Watch. He is sculpted in kilt and leggings withmoccasins to better deal with the wilds of the frontier. His coat appears tohave been cut down from a regulation frock and sports leather elbow patches andchest pockets. I haven’t seen other references to this, however. Thehighlanders depicted in Ospreys’ Highlanders of the French and Indian War werebetter armed than the sculpting so I added a scratchbuilt Highland pistol andsporran, a belly cartridge box, bayonet, dagger and sword.

ajlafleche Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks. Funny thing about the kilt...I was not at all happy even after maybe a hafl dozen attempts. I thought I'd done better before, but a couple guys in the club convinced me it was a decent job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
