IV/16 Scots Common rebase begins

Earlier this year I popped the minis off the "green sawdust" bases and soaked the paint off.

Unlike the Mongols the minis were guilty of being too colorful. Apparently what I'm aiming for is grey, which results from the mixed raw wool blends used at the time.

The pikes I had installed, based on the Strelets packs, are all too long. The length I'm aiming for is about 9' or no more than 40mm in scale.

Top left, the McHairies in packet. They will need to morph with Isles and Highlands. 

Second from top left, weirdly bad minis or minis hopelessly wrong for the Wars of Independence period that I want.

Left on the cutting board, the 16 minis I like from the originals.

Right, the Strelets militia that are my first pick for joining the pikemen ranks.
