Redoubt F&IW Highland Grenadiers - WIP

Started on these guys today - just got them in the mail yesterday - only about two weeks since placing the order. So far only the flesh, musket, bearskin and plaid have been painted. They'll be a unit of 78th Fraser Highlanders for Muskets and Tomahawks. In fact, Redoubt Enterprises has been kind enough to create a pack of six figures of three different poses for these rules.
The camera flash lightened the plaid a bit; and will be darkened after receiving a Minwax stain treatment once the rest of the painting is done.
The Fraser Highlanders participated in most of the major campaigns and battles during the French and Indian War - under General Wolfe's command at Louisbourg and the Plains of Abraham.
