Just to let you know, that I just posted a review of the Perry plastic Austrians on my blog: link Also included are comparison pictures with Front Rank, Foundry and Victrix. Enjoy, Burkhard |

Good stuff, and I especially appreciate the comparison photos. Thank you. |

Thanks. After seeing the painting guide, I realize just how beautiful this army might be on the table: the officer in greatcoat and helmet is particularly nice.
Probably easier to paint too, I think, compared to some other armies. Now I REALLY can't wait for the Uhlans. I agree that more foot officers are needed; the Russians and Prussians need them too, by the way. Thanks again 14th Brooklyn. |

Glad you all like it! @El Torre: I share the feeling, that the command / rank and file ratio in all the Perry boxes seems a little low, but I guess we will have to live with that if we want to take advantage of the plastics. I have resigned myself to buying some metal commands. Which was actually easy for the French and British since I got those fairly cheap since someone in my region had bough far more than he needed!  |

I note that you were disappointed with the molding quality of the Perry Russians. Has anyone had that problem with that particular set? Was this just a 1-off bad cast or is the mold poor on the Russians? |

Thanks again guys! @huevans: It seems to have been a limited problem… A friend of mine bought 4 boxes the orher week and they were fine. |

You don'y happen to have a victrix austrian grenadier head to try on a perry body to see if it fits? |
has a tip to help with your paint storage (and recognition).
