Intrigued that anyone dares to criticise the Perrys. I thought that was not allowed…
They have few greater fans than me. They do get the anatomical proportions right generally (generally…we must forgive the gnomes of the Heavy cavalry of La Garde) and show incredible imagination in their new ranges.
By incredible I almost mean unbelievable…I almost mean why?….but I do think the Scandinavian ranges show great…. commercial integrity?
I will forgive what I think are called injection pins. The wires that hang from every scabbard tip, from every giberne, from every spur tip and only become apparent when you start to paint the undercoated figure. I will forgive the webbed rear legs of so many horses…a file soon fixes that. I accept that the same horse, indeed rider, poses appear over and over again…..with minor changes. The three horses you showed above…all three…how many times have we seen them now? Move one or two legs, twist a head, do not be too complacent.
The end result is still probably the best large range around and, in hands like yours, superb figures result. Front Rank quality of casting makes it easier for you, but only to end up painting little fat Hobbits alas. OK, that is a very personal view, but you stuck your head over the parapet. So will I…..let us see what……..bang…….URRRRRRRRRGH
