Clansmen of Lamedon

The Clansmen of Lamedon I painted using, as close as I could, the colours of 'The Tartan of Thyme'.

This is a reflection of how much I appreciate the two books in the series, 'Justin Thyme' and 'Thyme Running Out'.

There was no way I going to achieve the actual tartan,

I'm not sure that anyone could, but the colours are all there.

However, the copper orange, which I used for trim on the 'kilts', was too understated, so the obvious answer was red/orange hair.

So,yes, the purple plant growth is suppose to be heather (not grape hiacynth, Blake!)

If I ever do anymore, I'll replace a sword with a set of bagpipes.

I thought them good models. Dynamic poses and easy to paint.
