We will have a limited stock of the American Civil War Hard Plastic figures in a dark-blue plastic, just for nostalgia's sake (remembering the old Airfix sets).
The colour is a muted dark blue, not bright and synthetic - hopefully, this will show up in the picture OK. These boxes will be available for the first time at our (Perry Miniatures) stand at Salute, and thereafter only from Perry Miniatures direct. You may pre-order from us now - just let us know that it's the blue box you want, the code is ACW 1 Blue. Price: £12.00 GBP
We have noticed that a couple of pieces of misinformation about our plastics have cropped up on this site.
Someone stated that our ACW figures were soft plastic like Airfix, not hard like GW's. In fact, we use High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), exactly the same material GW uses (which is the reason why we always mention hard plastic). Airfix use Polypropylene for their figures, a very different animal.
We also noticed that there was a question over the height of the figures. They are a good 28mm to the top of their heads, which is always the point to where we measure to, as does everyone we know. We've attached a few pics to clarify. Yes, we realise the Frenchman has a taller hat!
