I purchased a box of Perry elite company figures. I used 13 of them to build a couple of skirmisher groups for my Sharp Practice collection, and 24 to make up a battalion of Italian guard grenadiers. I like the figures. The only down side for me was the one figure that you have to glue the leg to. It is in a running pose that doesn't really fit in with the rest of the available figures, at least in my opinion. |

I do not have these figures, but for the Victrix 28mm British running figure, I glued it with foot to the stand, and it made a great pose, slightly moving to the side, ready to fire, or advance, as needed. The Perry figure seems to be bent at the knee, so this would reguire some "surgery" to straighten the leg, etc. GdeP |

Sure, very nice work and effects. Two queries tho, errmm… you've done the Italian Guard with red cords and flounders- do you have a source/ date for this? I'm impressed and so I blew up and grabbed the pic too! I have already done my battalion a decade ago with minifigs of course. And details on the voltigeurs- really should have a second colour in their epaulettes. Apart from pre-Empire, I have never seen French voltigeur with plain 'green chasseur' epaulettes. At least yellow (as the core colour of plumes) on edging braids and dragonne know or tassel. Is that an NCO or officer with sword? If so- NCOs stripes (aurore for Caporal; gold on scarlet for Sergent). Some should be 'veterans' as well, 1 or 2 inverted chevrons (^) for 5-10 years good service. Don't you need those to counter the 'chosen man' syndrome ;-) cheers d |
