Perry Sudan Gordon Highlanders 2

Interestingly, I kept a log of how long it took to complete these six figures from bare metal to painted, varnished and based. Thirteen and a half hours' work.

Copplestone British WW1 Rifle Section 1

June is a bad time for finding time to paint. Too much real life getting in the way at work. I'm glad to say that the madness is beginning to ease and I can now find both the time and the inclination to return to the painting desk.

Here we have the first five of a ten man rifle section of Copplestone WW1 British Infantry figures. Like the other Copplestones posted in May, these chaps wear the Suffolk Regiment patch on their helmets . Believe it or not, there are three different recipes for the khaki drill shorts on these five figures. It just gives a bit of variety.
