Musician of the month... and Band of the year !

Good evening everyone! I have been completely inactive on internet these past weeks - sorry for all your excellent creations I missed, I will have a look everywhere and comment where I'm late now that I am on vacation for... two days :).

There is at least one mini I should display this month: the musician of December! Let's have a look:

This man is a Scottish piper from the 15th century. He comes from one of the several Redbox sets dedicated to the War of the Roses: set 72043 Scottish Troops.

More important, this mini comes from The UK, since it was kindly sent to me last month by Sprinks, from  Wronghammer.

This mini is very nice, but the blowstick (i.e. the piece of wood in which the piper blows to fill the bag) was missing, so I had to add one to the model.

The result could have been better, but it is already more accurate.

So this guy is the 8th musician of the month this year. Only the 8th ? Unfortunately yes, I didn't achieve to complete the job, because I stopped painting between may and august.

This is what I did this year:

• January: Ancient Egyptian Drummer
• February: Medieval Swiss Drummer
• March: Napoleonic Fife Player
• April: Skeleton Horn Blower 
• May: - 
• June: -
• July: - 
• August: - 
• September: Napoleonic Neapolitan Drummer
• October: Gallic Carnyx Player
• November: Tambourine Player
• December: Medieval Scottish Piper

8 on 12, 66% success.

Now it's time to have a look at the band :)

 Hope you like them, as motley as they are !
