Ooh ooo oo o, Post some pictures of the Copppletsone figures, would any go with the Geezers?

Ooh ooo oo o, Post some pictures of the Copppletsone figures, would any go with the Geezers?

This is all 16 miniatures.  Top row sculpted by Copplestone, bottom row by Artizan (although very last mini is unmarked)
They include not Bond, Klebb, Steed, Peel, Harry Palmer, etc



Bond is 30mm to eye/32mm top of head. Starsky is 28mm to eye/30 top of head.  Klebb is 27mm to eye/29mm top of head.

They are of varying heights and are generally a bit taller and slimmer in style than the Geezers. Unless you're really fussy I don't think it will be too obvious.

Some will definately be suitable for Geezers. My top tip is the not Harry Palmer holding a Sterling  

These are only quick pics. If people want a better look I may take some better ones tomorrow

I got back from Salute, where I resisted manfully, except for...

The new Black Scorpion aliens... I shall use them to hunt my cave people  :twisted:
Vendel mastiffs... to add some doggy bite to my Reivers.
Some Grenadier (EM4) Copplestone-sculpted barbarians to supplement my Copplestone and Reaper cave people.
A couple of packs of 'Imperial' troops from a Spanish GW-alike called Gamezone who I hadn't come across before. Gorgeous figures. Will see how well they fit in with the rest of my Elizabethans.
The Brigade Models lady pirate pack by Mr Hicks.

Pretty restrained I thought  :wink:

I also checked out the Shadowforge and Maidenhead 'Tribals' for potential cave dwellers. I can report that both ranges have figures who would do very nicely as surrogate cave girls. But Shadowforge are TINY. And I mean some of them look more like 20mm, never mind 25mm - def not 28mm compatible. Maidenhead are a better fit height-wise, but slightly 2 dimensional.  
I decided against.

I lovingly held the preview pack of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and they look the business, but then I figured at 30 quid, just to sit in the lead mountain for 2 years, I might as well wait until the range is released in small doses and pick the figures I really want. They do have some ace boiler-suited henchmen though.

Then finally I blew it all, by succumbing to a bl**dy huge 'Figures in comfort' carry case and assorted trays. Ah well, there goes the budget.  

But on the whole, I thought Salute was pretty good this year.

I did manage to resist the Perrys and their plastics. They looked pretty darn nice though - and I don't even like plastic or the ACW!

Please do. I've been waiting for someone to get back from Salute with pix of these.

and two packs of musketeer irish flying column-figures (wich will be part of my scw conolly column). these are great too.

how big are the figures ,did they work fine with G .War Miniatures ?

I picked up the "pre-release pack" of 16 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang figures as well.

They are ver nice - but as I have said else wherev as well I hope the two sculptors will decide on a common weapon size. At the moment the Copplestone figures have SMGs considerably larger than the Artizan ones.

That's crazzzeee talk! I mix Shadowforge with 28mm all the time.

Well, I hope Mark will tone down his figures (sizewise), otherwise they will all tower over the Artizan figures. His Back of Beyond British are giants and (I understand) so are the Gurkhas, which is just odd.

I'm actually amazed that they are not using the same weapons masters - especially as it's supposed to be a collaboration.

Two more never released Mike Owen sea-dog sculpts.
Someone who used to work with him at Foundry has a private supply...  And there are more... :wink:

The pics are hasty and don't do them justice. The arqebusier is a superb sculpt.

[marianas_gamer]

I just got 7 Freicorps who will make up a desperate European sea crew stranded in Borneo and the really fat Foundary gangster boss who will soon be the local Dutch district officer  :mrgreen:

[Argonor]

Nearly forgot:

Last week I got a BIG box from Mongoose with a full range (well nearly, I'd bought a few packs in advance) of their GMC1-minis. Last call before they closed down their sales of minis...   :|
