For a specific definition where cool = 'utterly freezing'...
I have a small number of Ecossais to paint for my Jacobite forces for the '45, and these are certainly encouraging me to get on with it*. Very nice indeed.

Re: Royal Écossais Crann Tara miniatures.
Bonnets were worn from 1745 to at least 1747, but the Tricornes had returned by 1752. Some sources also record that a short paid was worn rather than the breeches during the '45.BaronVonWreckedoften wrote: ↑Mon May 31, 2021 10:29 am Very good, Willz.
Was a mix of tricornes and bonnets actually worn by the historical unit, or is that just artistic licence on your part?
I think I recall seeing a Grenadier Mitre cap from the RE as well but that might be from the later, post 1752, revisions.

Brilliant stuff Wilz and Shab!
I did a skirmisher-sized unit of these a while back.
