Jim Wasley Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This is the last of my figures I bought for the Sudan campaign,I am glad to have finished them,I was never happy with the quality,the hands have no real shape and anything close to the body had no shape,spent so much time with the craft knife and file,Last Perry's I'll buy.Cheers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I was thinking how well they're painted and then I saw the tartan kilts - now that's just showing off. From now on I'll be popping my figures in the post to you. 😜 No rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince1159 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Lovely job Jim,beggers belief that only 15yrs later the French entered WWI with basically the same uniform (except the kilts,they were replaced with brght red trousers)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 You've done a great job with them Jim, but I have to agree they do look a bit dated.....The detail isn't as good as the new Perry plastics: Spoiler TBH I reckon these are nicer than most of the metal historical figures out there. Which I find very odd indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Don't blame you based on your experiences thus far. You've just saved me a few quid in command figures too, I'm going to use the plastics for everything now.....I'll post some detailed pictures of their ACW range once I'm underway, you might have a change of heart when you see 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
