From KerryT : P is for Perry Miniatures (plus a few hangers on with a missing Cuirassier) (74 points and 1 if not 3 squirrels)

 Morning, Afternoon and Evening all

As highlighted in my first post of today I missed out on completing and posting a unit last week because a cyclone knocked out the power.

Somehow I've managed to catch up with a second offering this week but there aren't too many figures so its not been too onerous.

This time P is for Perry Miniatures

This will be my 8th entry leaving P is for Plastic, Personality, Pagan and Posh to come.

There are few figures on show I'm afraid - only 4 Perry figures as my original intention was to paint up some Stradiots for the Italian wars. These however arrived only a few days ago and have still not been cleaned and undercoated as they're still in the package. They are after all a birthday present as well and that's not until Monday! So even though I bought them for myself from my wife, I haven't been given them yet

The figures are from their "secure the colour" set - its meant to depict Corporal Stiles of the 1st Dragoons capturing the eagle of the 108th Ligne at Waterloo

I have no idea why I bought these figures as I do not have a 28mm British Napoleonic army, just French, Duchy of Warsaw and Russians. I think I just wanted something to put on the shelf

This left me with a little spare time in the week and because one of the underpinning ideas behind the AHPC seems to be to encourage one to get some old unpainted lead on the table I decided to tackle some AB miniatures vignettes

I have very large 15mm Napoleonic armies and couldn't resist buying some these AB vignettes when I visited Eureka Miniatures in Melbourne probably more than 5 years ago https://abfigures.com/110-vignettes

The 8th Cuirassiers  take a colour of the 69th Foot at Quatre Bras

Spotted an error - there's a Cuirassier from the original set missing!

This is where I have to confess my error, the actual colour captured was the King's Colour and not the Regimental colour as I have erroneously depicted above! You can read an account here:-

My decision in the end to add in some ABs backfired a little as they took me much longer to paint than I had anticipated.

The second set is the AB equivalent of the Perry Vignette though again in 15mm where the 1st Dragoons capture the Eagle of the 105th Ligne

As I said I completed them in a bit of a rush- and can spot a second omission- I took the pictures yesterday and have since left for a weekend trip away! I can see that I haven't highlighted the flesh and it looks a bit dark!

So by my reckoning that's

Vignette 1: 4 x 28mm figures (2 foot and 2 mounted) = 30 points

Vignette 2: 7 x 15mm figures (3 mounted and 4 foot) = 20 points

Vignette 3: 8 x 15mm figures (4 foot and 4 mounted )= 24 points

A total of 74 points

I'm not sure how many Squirrels I can claim for this 

There's at least 1 ? possibly 3. If so that will help my count

_____________________________

These vignettes are fabulous Kerry. It's also great to see some more figures for Napoleonics in the Challenge. As I like to call it, Napoleonics is 'The Beautiful Game'. The Perry's stuff is always solid, but I have to say I'm always taken by the somewhat smaller efforts of Anthony Barton. They have such great character and wonderful detail packed into their small format - really wonderful stuff, especially when they are painted with a talented brush-jockey such as yourself. Beautiful work Terry!
