Some of the BIF I ordered had the same problem as older ashigaru and samurai as in it looks like some of the mould has broken away in nooks and crannys.

I believe they use The Mould Maker although I could be wrong.

They look great!

Too bad about the casting, it's really the only thing that puts me off the Perry samurai.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Whats BIF?

TBH Mathias they are still worth the money and still great models in my opinion.

Sorry, they are the British Intervention Force from the 1860's that the Perrys have done recently.

Beautiful painting.

I'm surprised about the poor casting. I got some sohei from them not to long ago and they were great. None of the issues you mentioned.

Thank you, guys!

@Steel Fist
Nice of you to say it. I can kick myself in my behind for not discovering your Minis earlier! I was sadly told yours are a considerable bit bigger than Perry otherwise I'd be in there ordering like mad!

@All

I also think it's a caster issue. Last Tactica the Perries were talking with Schilling, a brilliant casting service in Germany, and the consensus from Mr. Schilling was that all these issues can be avoided with better material and careful casting processes. I am beyond "not an expert" though :)
