New Perry minatures

The hard plastics arrived today and as you would expect they look great.

Models have the hat choice to make them Rebs or Union. 3 models can be built as drummer, standard or infantry. The drum comes in 2 parts which clips over the knap sack.

Neatly done.

Come with some rules and flags but I picked up Brother to Brother rules from e bay recently.

A present distraction from painting Mexicans.

Got a Flyer from Perry Miniatures as to the Hard Plastics along with an order of metal today. They don't look too bad from the advertising Dave.
Can you let us know how the figures paint up

and, your general impressions.

Nice article in Wargames Illustrated 247 (MAY) on basic converting the new Perry plastics with even one converted to an Austrian 1866 infantryman

. Future conversions will be on the Perries website under "Aly Morrison's Conversion Corner"

Stuart, Aly mentioned to me about his convesion articles and I'm looking forward to reading them. When the plastic figures were first mentioned my immediate idea was that these figures would be great for converting metal figures as the hats are already seperate and guns, packs etc. will be much easier to cut off plastic figures.

Cheers
Dave
