Now here's somebody with way too much time on their hands: http://www.leviathanstudios.com/figu...joe/kilts.html

Maybe this should be in the kiltmakers section, ha.

I'm just wondering if you fit into this catagory as well digging up this trivia.....LOL But you do have the same taste in belts I noticed.....ah it's getting late and I'm a bit punchy...I was trying to sell Graham a kilt made from a clear shower curtain with flowers on it earlier tonight ...so maybe I lost it... it was an alternative to a solid colour kilt...one with no colour...time to leave ....in Canadian fashion ...um sorry? eh?

[Southern Breeze]

A kilt made from a clear shower curtain would be one way to answer THE QUESTION!

Figured somebody would suggest this. In my defense...I often surf looking for kilts and military links on google image. I think this one came up with kilt and infantry, not sure.

Here's a picture of Angus whom I purchased this summer (He's available in the states too) .






So this is how an apprentice kiltmaker starts out

There are some ppl who enjoy recreating military scenarios in miniature. Quite a few ppl enjoy dressing dolls in various costumes/period wear. How about this one:

James Bond: On Her Majesty's Secret Service Action Figure <H4>This outfit was a commission for Jonathan Sheen. I made him a jacket, kilt, socks, sporran, vest, and a shirt with a lace jabot. He has more pictures of Sideshow's George Lazenby action figure modelling this outfit at his Leviathan Studios site. I've never seen this movie, so all I had to go by were the screen captures and other photos Jonathan gave me as reference material. And Jonathan gave me LOTS of good photos to work from - the more images, showing the more angles (front, back, side, close-up, long-shot, etc.), the better. He also asked me to write up a how-to for it. I'll tweak it as I think of additional info, and edit it to make it more coherent, but here are some basics. Bail out now if you don't want to read my how-to notes. <H4><H4>The vest and shirt were based on a commercial pattern. (If you want or need a primer on commercial patterns, there is one further down the page.) The vest now opens lower than the original design. I replaced the pattern's shirt collar with a narrow band to cover any gap between the shirt and the jabot. I decided to make the jabot a separate piece from the shirt, since the shirt closes in the front, but the jabot closes in the back according to the photo references. <H4> </H4></H4></H4></H4>

This is from http://vikki.ethernauts.net/bondhowto.html , & the page continues on with descriptions of how she made various parts of the outfit.

Colin:Have you noticed that James Bond has his flashes at the front!!
Ackwell : I've seen Nr2 before It looks a good choice .He's on my list

I've seen a pipe band or two wearing flashes in the front. And I saw a discussion about it somewhere... maybe at viperpiper.org?
