Hi,
Here is a copplestone I finished recently. I was inspired by the figures of Lt Hazel, I hope it meets with approval. I have others, and hopefully I will share them with you.
In the meantime...

Spiff!

Great color work along with a handy brush.

Good going.

I prefer thinner bases myself but the basework is indeed really well done!  :-*

Am I the only one who doesnt like the way his feet hangover the end of the base? Everything else I really like, but it just spoils it for me. Sorry. :?

That's the problem for using standard GW bases.
(Personally I use some cardboard)

In my opinion this is not so ugly,as the base seems to be cut off from the ground ...

Hi,
Thanks for all the comments. Unfortunately when I started this project, a couple of months back, I chose to use the 25mm GW bases and the only one that I could use for this figure was the cavalry base. As a result I was faced with the choice, either his feet overhung the base or the Lewis gun would, I chose his feet. If I was doing him again I would rethink the base.
Cheers.   :)
