Wow, I think that will be a bit harder to pull off than the tartan Romain did. It looks nice non the less.
Nah… it would be fine. Again, just a question of steps !
Thanks for the info !
It’s not sad, seriously, it’s helpful.
Thanks Romain. You have taken painting tartan from something I have actively avoided to something I now want to try.
It’s easy if you start on a good base, if you know where you’re going, and if you do it step by step.
It’s all about organizing yourself…
You can even get fancy and highlight the stripes, with a little practice.
More about that in part 3…

I big hug and thank you to the man that will change everything for my armies. From now on all will have plaid lumberjack vests and tartan kilts!
I accept your manly canadian hug wholeheartedly !
Stay tuned for part 3 and more advice about clearer lines.
Tartan titles like dress, ancient, modern, hunter are mostly made up by the victorians. I think the pattern often stays true to some of their historic roots, but the combinations of colours has been played with over the centuries to be more marketable. Victorians introduced a stricter code regarding ownership of a tartan, whereas medieval clan warriors would have only been wearing similar tartan colours and designs because their mothers sisters wives would all have learnt how to produce clothes from each other and were restricted to local dies for colour.
he looks great romain most early tartans were purple, red, and yellows, to blend in with the heathers on the hills.
