I picked up a few of Mark Copplestone's new range at Salute...
I have about a dozen on the painting table and am experimenting with various fanciful colour schemes to represent French, English, Dutch, Irish, and random invented central European principalities...

Here's the first. He's French, obviously, cos he looks it.

What can I tell you. Copplestone is the master. These figures are a total pleasure to paint.

(Incidentally, the officer / cornet figures don't come with polearms or standards - or at least the ones he was selling at Salute didn't - so I am using Bicorne halberds, partizans and finials...)

That is gorgeous! Love the woodwork on the halberd.
A really nice paint job

He's quite a dandy. Excellent, up to your usual high standard of brush work.

A figure of real character, very nicely finished, with excellent scenic background - nice work and ta for the photo.

My god, Cap, I can literally smell the vichysoiss...

Very nice, from a great and frequently neglected period. Another fine sculpt by Mark, and an even finer paint job.

Yes, and you have done a really good job on it!

Very impressive ! I really like the hair especially - but not very much the blue woodwork.
