Probably the most spectacular of the trio you have shown us, last few days. Particularly impressive, as I have never rated the plastic Perry Carabiniers as highly as their cuirassier alternatives. Always thought the heads were far too slender in the coronal plane and the faces less detailed. I confess I prefer the round valise too, although plenty of evidence for both styles. Again, your highly characteristic style, with the intense black edging, really works well, especially on light coloured figures like these. Great attention to detail. I think I see buff centres to the cross belts and that is not easily done. Equally, I think the officers have a slightly more copper finish but both are hard to tell as the photography needs intense illumination. The trumpeters are great. They are superb. If only we could get figures like this in metal. My Front Rank ones sit forlornly in their undercoat…as for a few years now……..all gazing to the heavens watching for Stukas |

I like the crispness of the black lining (or undercoat) – makes the colours pop |

You forgot the link, me old mate. They also have done heads only for Carabiniers and, if they are any use at all, they could transform the Perry plastic figures. This is one unit I still think we are totally denied, in contemporary standard of modelling, in 28mm. Front Rank are fantastically detailed, but leaning so far back as to be useless. I have over 20 sitting in a box unloved and unpainted. Perry only do them in plastic. (Incredible when they do so many obscure units in metal) and ,there, the heads are far too narrow in the coronal plane. Hopeless compared with the cuirassiers. Cloaked figures we have long needed. I had to improvise for my Polish Lancers some years ago. |

OK, they are the best Carabiniers I have ever seen in 28mm. Perry metal cuirassiers I guess, maybe with the occasional plastic arm and the superb helmeted heads. I so want to see more but your link does not work. This is superb modelling. Brilliant. (You can tell I am enthusiastic maybe) |

@deadhead Thank you for the nice comments. I don`t have a website or blog. The photo`s are on a website (ImgBB) and when I link them the URL comes with it.
Maybe you can try this link: ibb.co/album/52mpZ5 ? Regards |
