Would it be feasible to make a decent looking cloth caparison using paper soaked in diluted PVA glue?

I’ve often made the  ‘energetically moving’ parts of capes (not so different from a caparison) by using paper tacked in place with superglue then soaked in superglue to stiffen it, which when cured would be skimmed and detailed with GS.

Back to the original topic: has anybody already got these in their hands, and is able to comment on them?

I have made an order for them through a retailer, but will take a while until I will get them in my hands.

I’ve got them. They are as lovely and versatile as we have come to expect from Perry Miniatures. It will be a while before I build any, but so much lovely stuff on the frame. Wonderful.

I've drafted a brief review - which I'll stick on my blog asap and advise on here when its done - just finishing off painting a few more for Alan P.
Suffice to say, they are impressive on many counts!
Cheers, Simon.

For those who have seen them in nature: would it be feasible to combine some of the upper bodies with the lower bodies of the foot men-at-arms (cruelly sawed in two) to provide some added variety to foot units?

Entirely feasible - if you have a sharp knife  :)

I got mine yesterday and like others I am very impressed.

I need to work out what I want to build with them as I already have Forces with characters for Agincourt and Orleans.
I will have to see who was at the Battle of the Herrings and at Patay.

There's a little review - and pics of some painted ones that you'll have seen in the Perry Miniatures adverts etc - on my blog.

Heres a link: https://harness-and-array.blogspot.com

I'm looking forward to painting more for myself.
Cheers, Simon.

They look fantastic Simon, well done! I got mine the other day and have started playing around with the kit. Really like the seperate torsos and legs.

Great work as always, any chance for an update on your burgundians?

Mine arrived today and have thoroughly enjoyed assembling some of them! These are 4 straight builds from the box, albeit with a shield from a Fireforge box added onto one of them - they will be being used for a Song of Ice and Fire project so ignore the slight anachronism.
