Great stuff, very inspiring. Those Calpe figures look good, are they compatible with Perry plastics? Fons

Fonzie Don't know about Perry plastic as I only collect and paint metal miniatures. I currently have some Perry Young Guard on the painting table and I think Calpe infantry look fine next to them. Raglan |

Thanks Raglan, I will give them a try. Fons

Fons, I think they would work together. Here is a review I wrote for Martin Kellys Befreiungskriege Blog, with notes on compatibility: link That being said… the Calpe minis are more pronounced in their sculpting then Perry. Since large portion of my French collection are Perry and Victrix anyway, I will not mind adding a few Calpe to the fold. On the other hand most of my Prussians are Calpe and I feel they are much nicer then Perrys so I will keep my Prussians almost exclusively Calpe. Cheers, Burkhard P.S.: Sorry for the long post Raglan… did not want to steal the thunder from these beautiful minis of yours!!! |

14th Brooklyn No problem mate, posting photos of painted units should be about provoking discussion. Raglan |

Excellent painting and good to see a complete battalion of Calpe French! I am sorely tempted to buy some but as I've still got 12 battalions of Calpe Prussians to finish it may have to wait until next year! Cheers, Paul |
