Perrys raise the bar even higher

[Alfrik]

I suspect that the Perry buildings will be hollow for 2 reasons, Cost of casting and cost of shipping. It will be interesting if there is a base floor included though.

Hollow? I assume they'll be plastic kits...................

Brilliant! Looking forward to this line...hoping they do some India stuff for Mutiny or Sikh wars etc... BRAVO!

must have !!

I think this will be a good thing. Having just hand shingled the roof of my AWI church I would certainly be after some ready made roof sections! It would be good if they extended the range to include other periods such as the Sudan (plastic modular riverboat anyone?) or the Samurai stuff. Resin weight is a killer with the old shipping costs when you live in Australia. Or anywhere.

I do hope the 'other things' might include a new colonial range. I think a NW Frontier or Mutiny would be excellent. I do have some of their foundry NW frontier figures and they look a bit tired and stiff next to their newer ranges. They certainly are improving! However, the club consensus is that it will probably be Franco Prussian War. Still, that might not be a bad thing for us colonial gamers and give us plenty of extra models for early colonial gaming or VSF.

I shall watch with interest.

Wonder if this comes in a kit form like the model railway stuff, even then I would by it anyway. This is nice.

[Rhoderic]

I would think kit form is a plus!

One would suspect so...?

Flatter package, less cost

And the potential of customizability. Although looking at that particular house, I'm not sure if it could be arranged in any other way.

I doubt that, because if this range takes off, I expect they will concentrate on providing buildings for their existing figure ranges, so it might be reasonable to expect Medieval and 17thC European, Middle East/Sudanese, Japanese etc.

Of these, the medieval Japanese would fill by far the biggest gap in the market and would, I feel, be a great success.

Nice to see I'm not the only one who feels that way. I still think it's kind of an outside chance that the Perrys would have feudal Japanese houses as a priority, but it would be so awesome if it happened. Fingers crossed.
