Getting this right will make or break your Coppers. In
reality the uniform was almost black, and it is probably
more realistic to go more black than blue, but it is
definitely blue, be it a very dark one.

BASING
I did these to match the other IHMN models I have done.
With the Constables I did add larger bases to the models,
painted in the same trompe l’oeil effect. See my previous
IHMN articles for details.
VARNISHING
Again the same as I have detailed before, the only extra
was to re-varnish the helmet badge with gloss to simulate
the enamelled Metropolitan Police badge.
