What do you do with these? Maybe replace these parts on other figures? Cut the heads off the headgear & toss them on the field as debris (the headgear, not the heads)? Thanks, Dean

Hoard them jealously. I never throw spares away.

The spare flank company arms from my British Line Infantry box meant I only had to buy one Highlander Centre Company box to get a proper battalion. And there's still a few left to do extra skirmishers.

Some Perry French heads went into my ACW army to add variety.

For sure, I won't throw any of them away. I may be only saying this now since I haven't acquired more sets for more combinations/experiments. I already plan to use the "extra" French flags on a few spare officers. I can then have these guys in Perry units for earlier scenarios – at least the colors will look older. Dean

Hemm – sell them cheap to deserving individuals who have a conversion project in mind???

Pile them outside a tent and call it the Surgeon's tent.

If you have spare British Peninsula heads from the Perry Miniatures plastic figs then send them to me…I could really use them for a project that I am working on. I am happy to cover your costs.

Put them in a box, forget about them, and then find them in about 5 years time when your wife threatens to throw them out, then tell her they are REALLY IMPORTANT. Repeat process for the rest of your life.

I am on the look out for the covered shako head (similar to the Perry ones) from the British Waterloo sets as I want to make a rugged looking centre company predominately with these heads to make them look different to the flank company.

If anyone has any to spare I would greatly appreciate it and can trade for the standard heads or spare arms.

Please message me if you have some to spare.

Christot, that is so true!

Good one Don Perrin! Or give them to your Roger's Rangers figures for lunch!
