The Earl Of Loudoun's Regiment Of Foote.


Have made a start on the Government forces to oppose my Jacobites . This is the Earl Of Loudoun's Regt. (64th) , there were only three weak companies at Prestonpans left guarding the baggage train but I have decided to paint up a full size unit of six bases .


The figures are from the Redbox Highland Infantry box and I think they are rather nice .


Here are the command base the flag was a nightmare to get right , there is some dispute on the colour of the regimental facings - either white or light buff - I went for buff . I'm painting up the first of the British foot next .

    1. 20mm is a bit fiddlier than 28mm but not so bad once you get going .

    1. They are nice aren't they , 1/72nd figure designers seem to get their body scales right - no large hands and heads .
