Yes, I see what you mean. I'm tempted to get a pack of those, although with Foundry's silly P&P charges, I might have to wait until I can get some at a show

I really like these and wanted to get some to mix with some of the First Corps cape wars Brits (for VSF actually....but perhaps they could equally well serve for Boer war?). Does anybody have any thoughts on how well the two might mix or any pics showing a comparison. I'm not really too fussy about these things unless they really are too different.

I'm sure someone else has plans to use these as a kind of Militia or Fencible unit.

There should be a thread somewhere mentioning it.  They wouldn't really do for historical Boer War gaming , but I reckon they'd be great as militia etc for VSF and what have you.

I have a couple of 1st Corps sample figures half-painted somehere. If no-one beats me to it I could try and set up a comparison pic with Foundry and Perry colonials.

Irritatingly I bumped into Michael Perry today, but I was in a massive rush, otherwise I'd have asked about the Protectorate Regiment.

I have some of the 1st Corps figures you mentioned. I would say that height wise they are similar to Perry. The style is just somewhat different where the 1st Corps have more character. I would though mix them without hesitation.

Where can I find some pics of the Perry's Mafekin Minis???

Until they get pictures up in the catalog this is probably your best bet:

Reviceived 30 of the Perry Mafeking figures today, they are very nice. You do get repeats but I am busily converting with head swaps etc for my 3rd platoon of militia for BCW3

I will get some photos of the figures both unconverted and those converted later.

You can use some for pulp and interwar period very easily and will make a nice militia unit for VSF with no modifications

Looking forward to it

Lovely work.  May I ask where you obtained the weapons and tools for your conversions?
