Exciting news from the Perrys

 A new period in plastic coming up!

The next plastic set will be French Revolutionary Infantry!
All the frames for these are in tooling at Renedra at the moment, so this is just a sneak peek to show what is coming up this year. The three examples shown here are marching, but in the box as usual, there’ll be other arms for a more aggressive unit. The way Alan has made the torsos in this set is a little different from before. The torsos and legs are separate to include the large number of options of legwear from neat to ragged, civilian and military. The separate torsos also have the heads attached as this was necessary to allow the queues and longer hair styles to lay right over the collars. So, you’ll end up with a large amount of head/torso as well as leg variants. With the heads attached to the bodies, this also allowed a large variety of separate headgear to be included.

Le régiment des Gardes Suisses

 "Le palais forcé, et le roi rendu dans le sein de l’Assemblée, je me hasardai à pénétrer dans le jardin. Jamais, depuis, aucun de mes champs de bataille ne me donna l’idée d’autant de cadavres que m’en présentèrent les masses de Suisses, soit que la petitesse du local en fît ressortir le nombre, soit que ce fût le résultat de la première impression que j’éprouvais en ce genre. J’ai vu des femmes bien mises se porter aux dernières indécences sur les cadavres des Suisses."

Napoléon Bonaparte
