Piper Kenneth MacKay

Thanks for all the overly praise guys

I'm sure that when you view it in the flesh you're gonna say GREAT, AWESOME & LOVELY

I'M JUST JOKING GUYS AS YOU KNOW ME, I NEVER TAKE OVERDUE CREDIT/PRAISE FOR MY WORK, on the contrary I HONESTLY FEEL that I DO GET OVERLY CREDIT & PRAISE ON EVERY FORA I'M ON

Hope to see you all at club this Wed for the usual weekly LIFE SUPPLY

Cheers mate. I was expecting someone who saw it "in the flesh" on Wed to testify that it looks a tad better then these LOUSY pics but none stepped forward I'm afraid

I'm stuck guys

The pipes got me thinking and thinking.

So I PM'd and emailed David Mitchell one of our Scottish brothers on PlanetFigure requesting help.

I also asked our popular Samwel to email Danilo (la huma hbieb personali) on my behalf re my querries.

I also searched the net and stumbled upon a 79th Highlandres re enactment group but still no reply for my plea email

My doubts are re colour of the blowstick, the colour of the chanter with the ivory "horn" and wether the ring decorations on the red drones were actually gold/gilded?

Since there would be several Kenneth Mackay'SSSS at WNT in AMT, I really would not like to look the idiot with an "overlooked/hastey" item. And being such a famed Piper who fought in such a well accounted Battle, I'm sure that his bagpipes are well documented somehow, somwhere.

I'm sure that both David and Danilo would throw me the life line I HUMBLY pleaded for

Ray

Sorry my friend but i am as stupid as ever as far as bagpipes go so i cannot help you out but i am sure that you will get your probelm solved soon.

Ray, if not mistaken the Police bandmaster is Malta's bagpipe expert might he can give you hints about your queery!

Ivan

I admit that I forgot all about him Ivan

However if I remain stuck I'll knock on his door for sure

But am sure that both David and Danilo will come to my rescue.

Infact David responded first this morning and I already learnt a new term "junctions" re the "rings" that I referred to before.

Still I would like to hear it from the horse's mouth (Danilo)as if anything I would be safe and paint it as he did IMHO

JF, even if modern, they still help/ed as I got a more close up view of a bagpipe, so thanks a million my SSM BRO

Ray

Ray I emailed that piper but no reply yet

If all fails I would still stick to the original painting

D

Ray, why don't you post on planet figure? Maybe there's a scottish modeller that can help you?
BTW, have I ever told you that I used to play the bagpipes? And I was quite good too One day I will buy one to entertain you at the club
