Perry ACW Before & After Comparisons

Just a quick comparison of my first sprue of Perry ACW, hopefully showing how easy it is to paint to a reasonable standard using the new Army Painter.

As mentioned previously this is my first encounter with plastics, 28mm & Perry; all favourable, I have to say.

Before, following clean up, assembly and initial basing:

And after, painted, dipped in strong shade, matt varnished and flocked:

Finally, a quick skirmish line of Johnny Rebs...

I enjoyed painting these Perrys and in my limited recent experience would recommend them; they are 'small' compared to some other manufacturers' 28mm figures, though highly detailed and well-proportioned.


More to follow!


All the best,

Perry Minatures ACW Confederates

Just dropped a couple more photos in of a few more Perry's I quickly painted up and dipped as previously described. I thought I would add a little variety to their 'rag tag' uniform appearance as befitted the Confederate armies.

Not the best quality photography - a little blurred I know - so my apologies - but at least you get the idea of the figures I'm trying to describe.



I must say that I am enjoying using the Army Painter and while it may not be to every one's taste, particularly the 'old sweats' out there, [I think] it certainly gives reasonable results to someone with limited skill and time.



I will quickly finish off the remaining few figures on this sprue as I now have 'my eye in' (I think) and embark upon the Warlord Games Imperial Roman Legionaries I have just recieved. Really looking forward to those.

More photos to follow...

Best wishes,

Monty
