Blue Coats (Heavy on the pics)
« on: 20 February 2009, 06:09:10 AM »
Hello all,

I had an inch to paint some Copplestone and a couple of old Grenadier Future Wars Cops this week. As I have said in the past, Copplestone miniatures seem to paint themselves. I apologized in advance if the pics are too large. Thanks.

Patrick

I like your choice of colours and agree that they just about paint themselves. ;)

Very nice work.

What the rest say:
very good choice of colours!

I always wanted to field various police units in uniforms.
I already have Victorian police and East Europe polizi (?) from westwind.
Now I am itching on two more small projects:
RCMP and US state troopers. Time to think of the next force!

There's a reason for that: Copplestone sculpted the Grenadier figures too.  :)

Thank you all for the great comments!

Copplestone miniatures are one of my favorite minis to paint. I decided on the white gloves to contrast with all the blue and black on the minis.

Now I need to track down the rest of the Grenadier sculpts to finish out the Blue Coats. The hunt begins...
