Oh one tiny point when I did this figure I found it easier to mount the arm to the shield then to the body,it's personal preference but that's what worked for me

Yes it's on WIP called Winter King but the pics and indeed the painting are a bit pony compared to most on here http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/the-winter-king.49531/ I also fabricated attachment points for the handle as it looked "better" to my eye

Thanks for taking the time and effort to complete this review Kev and also for the useful research material. Pete very kindly supplied some painting guidelines which were not included in the original kits but are now ( apologies Steve). I have included these below for others who bought the figure and have not started it yet. The spear shaft is made from carbon fibre.

No worries mate I appreciate it though.

Great review Kev on what is my favourite period. Only wish this was a 54mm or a 75mm as for me 120's take up too much room. The bit about the Coppergate helmet was a nice touch. Dragged around Waitrose is hell eh? You should try Aldi, its worse.

Jazz it's well worth breaking a size rule for IMO
