I never had problems with brittleness or too much flash (odly enough my Perry Russians had flash), but maybe I got lucky there. What I like about them is that the detail is a little crisper on them, which suits my painting style and as you said the greater diversity in parts. Coming from a scale model background, parts never scare me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934183348509433048.post-57168981016396647262011-05-31T07:49:04.390+01:002011-05-31T07:49:04.390+01:00The two companies do work well together, thankfull...The two companies do work well together, thankfully there are no scale discrepancies!<br /><br />I had much the same thought as you with the Old Guard box; using it to make a wholly greatcoated French army circa 1812. Got to finish my British first; but they are at least progressing nicely!

I especially like the Victrix officer.<br /><br />It's a shame that no one has artillery out yet, I'm going to have to go Foundry.BigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934183348509433048.post-6493998215337667602011-05-30T15:13:35.659+01:002011-05-30T15:13:35.659+01:00BRB -

I agree with you that the Perry and Victrix plastics are great and they are so close to each other that they offer wonderful mix-and-match opportunities. So far my French battalion is all Perry, but I know that for my next one there will be a lot of integration.<br /><br />Great stuff!SquadPainterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430903626225535338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934183348509433048.post-86854434771195279442011-05-30T10:11:14.526+01:002011-05-30T10:11:14.526+01:00Hi Consul, long time no hear.
