NEW! Austrian Army of the Revolutionary War. Perrys

The first of the metal Austrian Army is now available. Perry Miniatures - By Alan and Michael Perry

The uniform these infantry are wearing dates from 1767-1798, however it can be pushed to 1800.

At this time two standards were used per battalion. Grenz Infantry during this period looked like Hungarian infantry, although Grenzers in the Klobuk (tall felt cap) are also on the workbench.

Apart for the major campaigns against the French, these can be used to fight the Austro-Ottoman War 1788-1791 and War of the Bavarian Succession 1778-1779 or Potato War (where not a lot of fighting happened!)

Plastic Austrian infantry are in tooling, there’ll be two sets, German and Hungarian.

More good news from the Perrys

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that the next box would always be Austrians to fight the French. The first set is dedicated to the German regiments of the Austrian Army and will cover options for either Fusiliers or Grenadiers in the same box. You will be able to build them either as marching or attacking. The first of the ‘3ups’ is heading for tooling. Alan is also working on a metal range of Austrians and is adding to the French.

 Twice this year we have been privileged to deploy as part of a combined force of more than 70 reenactors of #AncienRegimeFrance. Historical reenactment is so much about people, and it has been our pleasure to build professional and personal relationships with so many wonderful people across the channel!

Plastic Revolutionary French Infantry update

 The final frame (the command frame) has been finished and the 28mm plastic Revolutionary French Infantry can now go into production. They will go up for pre-order in the first week in August, when we’ll show more pictures of them in units etc, and will be released about a week later.

As you can see the command frame has seven torsos and ten pairs of legs including more gaitered legs, ‘gaitered trousers’ and short-gaitered legs. It also has NCO arms, various officer arms, two officers (one full figure, one torso). The NCO standard bearer can also be changed into an officer if needed.

Perry plastic update

 Plastic French Revolutionary infantry update.

We have examples of the first two frames of the next plastic set in. The command frame is in tooling at the moment.

The main frame has the torso/heads, legs packs and headgear. The second frame is the arm frame. As you can see the heads are attached to the torsos as this allows queues and long hair to fall over the collars naturally without compromising the tooling.

One of the main things Alan wanted to achieve was a good variation in headgear and leg and footwear as shown in so many pictures of the 1790’s, which also corresponds with the regimental records. To do this the figures are split at the waist. Breeches, with and without gaiters, civilian overalls (ragged and semi-ragged), clogs, shoes in good and bad states of repair as well as bare feet are all covered. There will be additional gaitered legs on the command frame too, if you want a bit more formality to your unit.

On the main frame two torsos have the short tailless civilian carmagnole jacket, which can be painted in the national colours or as civilian clothing. Two other torsos have civilian long tailed coats.

No release date yet.

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 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."
