Finished basing the two sets of Perry plastic French infantry.
The two sets look fine next to each other - keeping the figures in separate units. Although, I did have to use a single 1807-14 figure on the command base of the other set as I was short one without greatcoat. He's behind the flag bearer, next to the drummer - noticeably from the back having longer coat tails.I used the 1812 pattern flag on both units. The earlier pattern that came with the 1807-14 set seem a bit too small anyway.Here they are on movement trays in Attack Column formation (according to the Perry leaflet).Comparison of plastic French Infantry - left to right: Warlord Games (Peninsula set), Perry 1807-14, Victrix, Perry 1812-15. The Warlord guys are the biggest (mainly their shakos/heads), the Perry 1812-15 and the smallest (but not by much). The Perry 1807-14 figures match up well with Victrix - they're both somewhat slender. All except the 1812-15 Perrys are in the earlier longer tailed coat. As far as I know, the Perrys are the only ones with plastic French Infantry in the Bardin regulation coats (closed labels).
Plan to start on a box of Perry Duchy of Warshaw next. Thanks for checking out the blog, and wishing you all the best, and a Happy Thanksgiving to those on this side of the pond.
V-nice.
