La Meridiana Ticongeroga

Here are two (large) 54mm figures from La Meridiana
representing the French and English at the battle for Ticonderoga/Fort Carillion in 1758. The
Frenchman is a halberdier in the uniform of the Languedoc Regiment and is stock
and posed on a La Meridiana base. The Scot is in a modified uniform of the 42nd
Regiment of Foot, the Black Watch. He is sculpted in kilt and leggings with
moccasins to better deal with the wilds of the frontier. His coat appears to
have been cut down from a regulation frock and sports leather elbow patches and
chest pockets. I haven’t seen other references to this, however. The
highlanders depicted in Ospreys’ Highlanders of the French and Indian War were
better armed than the sculpting so I added a scratchbuilt Highland pistol and
sporran, a belly cartridge box, bayonet,
dagger and sword.

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.
