Way back, in april 2010, I started a project, depicting a landingparty on Sword beach, under the famous Lord Lovat.
The idea was to show him going ashore, playing the pipes as ordered, while all around him his comrades where keeping their heads down.
The basis is the Masterbox set “Scotland, the Brave”, onto which I added the appropriate gear, like headgear. backpacks and the like.
initially I thought of doing something square with a metal “hedgehog”, but that did not look right and looking at periodpictures I opted for something else.
Hahaha this is awesome! There is a song about this guy… i gotta find it
Nice setup, will be following.
I know it has no logic, but I find weird the images with soldiers attacking to the left 
Love the inclusion of the Vickers K gun Ron!
In case you need anymore photo reference, this photo is supposedly of him about to land in onto Sword Beach
@Stikpusher Thanks, but I think I already downloaded every picture of Millin, available online.
But some real progress was made! Which shows I really am not a figurepainter at heart.
I just love the pose of this guy!
I am rolling now!
3 out of 4 are practically done. I need to finetune some things like adding some gloss here and there or touch up the paint.
I added a dark wash along the edge of the base to suggest moisture and extended that gray wash onto the frame, since that was boring. Now the whole thing blends together more. I’ll add a layer of varnish later.
I did it!
It is done!!
Started april 10, 2010…
Unfortunately the commando-decals needed have gotten lost over time.
Excellent little scene! Bravo! 
Nice and effective little scene.
