Hi Helm ,
Thanks for suggesting this idea , I can see where you are coming from on this ..and of course put the handle throuh the hand before the arm is put to the shield
Any pictures of your version?

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

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.
