Thanks Guys!
I made the base out of a bit of thin plasticard. I scored the paving slabs into it with a conveniently broken craft knife blade - I used the flat edge and which has broken at an angle making a mini sort of router thing. I got it round using a circle cutter. The piles of rubble are the same sort of plasti-card cut into small brick shapes and jammed into a mound of textured milliput. The helmet was left over from a converted Crusader German.
I painted her almost exclusively with Privateer P3 paints, the mercenaries set has some really good WWII type colours. As paints go I think they're really quite good, just like the old school GW ones - the ones pre hopeless lids.
She was nice figure to paint, I think I'll do Liberty next.
