10mm of Goodness from Copplestone Castings...

I was looking around over at Frothers a couple of months back when I came across pics of some new 10 and 15mm miniatures by Copplestone Castings. Mark Copplestone was one of my favourite sculptors back when I first started painting so it was cool to see that his recent work in the smaller scales was as good as ever.

I ended up buying the 10mm Heroes and Halflings and the 15mm Northlander Characters... Even though I'd already seen pictures of the miniatures I was still amazed at the quality (both sculpting and casting) when they turned up. The 15mm were impressive enough but I have no idea how he manages at 10mm - they're as good as a lot of 28mm stuff...

Anyhow, gushing aside, here's a 10mm magic user on a little scenic base that I painted up mostly over the course of an afternoon. I quite enjoyed painting at this scale - it all comes together very quickly which is nice when you're such a slow painter like myself...
