Copplestone - British sailors in floppy hats

[Gluteus Maximus]

yes they are, I'm quite surprised by that. Now I'll have to buy both sets. Damn You Mark Copplestone

He is a complete swine isn't he?

Same goes for the Perrys 

[Thunderchicken]

Bum! I bought a load of the sailors in the regular hats recently but these are the chaps I'm after. 

Copplestone sailors anyone?

Copplestone sailors anyone? 

why not?
send me a PM

Has anyone yet combined Perry and Copplestone naval brigade?
the Perry ones look quite different in proportions? IMHO

I refer the learned gentleman to my post of November 20, 2009. 

there's a pic of two Officers, which shows you exactly what they look like together

have not forgotten this, thx 

so You are combining them, I guess
But I would like to see such a combination in painted or other oppinions, that's why I asked

Aha, I understand and it's a fair question

Sorry, I have some painted Perrys but no painted Copplestone naval figures at the moment. I bought a pack of officers at a very low price and intended to use them separately as vehicle commanders or Naval attaches etc, but they look so good with the Perrys that I would happily use them together in the same unit. I am sure they would look great together, especially if painted by the same person.

Check these out. The 25th competition winner - Mr Dallimore of course.
Think this sublimely gorgeous landing party includes both Copplestone and Perry...

thx very much

think I've seen them before

these are really a beauty, but it is all copplestone (maybe apart from the gatling), these I have myself

[Captain Blood]

I think the 'marines' are Perry?

[former user]

the ones with the pith helmets?

could be, but I wanted to see the sailors compared

God damn it.  Just ordered a set of the sailors. Was going to take a break from lead spending this month, but noooo.... couldn't resist the shiney shiney.


I did notice that the Gardner Gun is no longer listed on the Copplestone site though. Withdrawn for re-tooling or something do you think?

[former user]

this has been for some time....
but there is hope since they've been re-releasing the other sailors
