Here are two of my painted Tartans ~Brian

Interesting, but a little too Scottsman-ish stereotypy for me. Nice work though

I disagree, you can never get enough Scottish-ness. Just put him in a rainy field and you'll have true Scot! Are you in fact Scottish? your name suggests it.

Drum

It's alright for you to say its good because you are Scottish, I'm English, it would probably count as racist if I said I liked it.

bah, I think some racist things have gone too far. For example the 'ba ba blacksheep' nursery song has been deemed racist by some people... . but 'ba ba multicultural sheep' just doesn't have the same ring I'm afraid. Anyway back to the thread, good work on them. Perhaps put your hand behind the model so that the camera will focus on it.

Drum

aren't a Scot and Englishmen the same thing ::ducks for cover::

A Scot is Scottish an Englishman is English.

I like the latest one better, even the kilt (solely because its looks neat),

Is the bottom of the sword red?

Oh and sayings Scotts and Englishmen are the same is like saying US Americans and Canadians ar the same, or Australians and New Zealanders, or Rohirrim and Gondorians.

@Drum, yeah, it is petty, but I'll let them be, for now.

The bottom is gold with Terracotta on the piece of leather on the blade...
What you mean Canadian aren't American...we Americans rule da world..
I know about the Scot/english thing, had a buddy get punched out at a Soccer game in Glasgow for calling a Scot an English guy.
Brian

this is the second tartan pattern I tried

Interesting, quite a bold scheme this time. Is terrecotta some kind of red or pink then, as well as the material?

It is actually Mechrite red, I saw the pattern on the place that showed me how and I thought I would give it a shot to see something a little different ~ Brian

You should look to see if your camera has a macro setting.

When I first saw the clansmen models when they came out I thought immediately of Braveheart and knew I had to get them and paint them up as woad warriors someday. It's hard to escape the typical scottish scheme for this model since they're wearing kilts, otherwise you can have a unit of cross dressers instead.

Terracotta was a colour that GW use to have. it is a brown colour that is slightly warmer than Dark Flesh. I will make a patch of it and take a picture to show you guys.
Brian

Could you take a picture of the pot?

Very nice painting, though the focus is on the background rather than the mini. Looking forward to more.

I see, I wish they'd kept those black-lid pots. So Terecotta is one of those dropped like Tentacle Pink.
