    Glad you asked. I do have one regimental pipe band. Britains makes two sets one is the pipes and drums of the Royal Scots the other is the RAF pipes and ddrums. Each set is about 20 or 22 pieces for about 250.00 . If you type in Sierra toy soldiers in Google you will find my favourite company to deal with.
    There are of couse many other pipe bands and pipers available from a myriad of manufacturers. It is a wonderful way to see and introduce people to kilts as well.

    Michael, do you paint your mini's yourself? I'd like to see a few pics.
    I dont' have any kilted minis, but I managed to paint some (badly done) tartan trews on a regiment of my Dwarven Trollslayers.

    Much like Panache and MacMan, I too cannot afford another hobby!

    I do paint figures yes, but they run from 54 to 60 mm.And if I can get some one to show me how to post pics like some of you do here I would love to post pics. Yes I know all of you are getting ready to tell me about the postings which tell me how to do it,but , I'm not that side brained . I am an arteast Someone Ahem Switchblade are you reading this?,will have to show me so that I can see it done and then watch as I stumble through it .
    Some other really nice figures are made by a company called Frontline. You can google them as well Also if anyone emails me with an address I will try to send a few pics. I really like Napoleonics. Lots of color, you know?
