Possibly a daft question… Given that the Foundry AWI range was sculpted by the Perrys, is it compatible with the Perry's own range? Thanks in advance.

I seem to have been hijacked here…..

By me it seems. My post deleted, I'll try again. Weird.

@ cazador, Both were/are sculpted by Alan Perry. What you will find is that similar figures (eg British line, or Continentals) will be smaller in the Foundry range than they are in the Perry range. Not hugely so, but you will notice this when they are side-by-side and particularly when unpainted. The two ranges are also largely based around different campaigns – the Foundry figures (especially the British) are for 1775-1776 and are in 1768 Warrant clothing, whereas the Perry offerings were initially for the Saratoga and Philadelphia campaigns (1777) onwards, with quite a few figures for the Southern theatre. As with his Napoleonics, some of his best sculpts are of men resting – his uniformed militia for Foundry and Hesse-Cassel Garrison regiment for his own range, all standing at ease, are absolute masterpieces IMO.

Allen Perry states on the Perry website that his intention with the Perry range is to start with figures that are not covered in the Foundry range, thus the different campaigns for the two ranges. I have not done a side by side comparison.

Thanks chaps. Useful comments which may well push me over the edge!

Personally, I think Foundry and Perry metal AWI are closer in style and size than are Perry metal and plastics.

Yes they work fine together. Even mixed on the same base they look great.
