I've added a bagpipe to my 79th New York State Militia. I made the figure about a year ago and I've been looking for a set of bagpipes ever since. I finally found them while vacationing in Scotland. They're actually a refrigerator magnet that plays the worst rendition of "Scotland the Brave" I've ever hear. Sounds like a dying cat. But they were cheap and look great with just a little bit of kit-bashing.

That is just plain freakin awesome. Very solid presentation.

 

[grizzerr]

They look damn near perfect!

 

[Hollowpoint]

That is just brilliant! Well done.

This is a true wonder of the 1/6th world. Another fragging coolassed work by the master of Civil war frolics.

Beautiful.. i love seeing any Scot kitbash, Civil War included. I had to do both my Civil War figures (CSA and USA) with a drum, as i don't have enough bagpipes to go around.

I love the detail on the cap, garters, tabs, etc... very nice figure.

the only question, why didn't you buy 100 of those magnets and bring them back?

I spent over a year (off and on) looking for 1/6th pipes on the web, but to no avail. Iit took a vacation in Scotland to find just this one.

I would have bought a dozen or more, but I got the last one in the store!! And even then I had to go into five souvenir shops before I could find the this one. I was beginning to lose heart that no one in Scotland cherishes the Pipes anymore.

You have created an extremely enthralling and original piece. Your figure is outstanding and impressive!!!

Terrific job and great call on the bagpipes.

These look like the same ones - about 4 ins high?

Excellent figure Norm. We still love the pipes over here, believe me! I have that very same set of bagpipes on the fridge door in the kitchen. You're right about the strangled cat:sadshake

Nice to see you back Norm.

Great looking figure, and good to see your work again.

Remember having a souvenir miniature set of 'Bagpipes' as a kid, they looked great on my Action Man !

Anyway, thanks for sharing.​
