Perry Miniatures WWII US Infantry

[MABO]

After a long time I can finally show something of mine again, because I finally finished the GIs from Perry Miniatures, which I worked on for quite a while.



I have a very extensive collection of the Perry plastic sets, but I haven't painted that much yet. As I am very interested in the North African theatre of war and the Normandy landings in 1944, I was very interested in the US infantrymen.







The set offers many different possibilities to assemble the figures individually. However, I found it very fiddly and I missed more comprehensive instructions. The assembly took a long time, as I spent hours trying to decide which figure, which arms and which hands would fit together. If you look at the figures directly, you can still see some inaccuracies that I didn't know how to solve otherwise.



I tried to use some new techniques in the painting and of course I also liked the fact that they are not the small 1/72 figures I usually have. Therefore I am partly very satisfied with the faces. Of course there are many who can paint the beautifully modelled figures much better and more accurately, but that was all I could do.





I hope you like the figures and maybe next I can show you the DAK troops, which I have almost finished.

Wonderful bunch of painted figures, Jan.

I think you've done a really god job on these. Big respect for having the patience to put together this amount of figures, I'm not sure I could...

[Minuteman]

Some really well painted US infantry here, well done!

[Peter]

You did a great job on these figures, Jan! Don't be to hard on yourself! I don't see anything wrong!

[MABO]

Thanks for the nice comments, friends!

These are very nice indeed, l have had a box of these in my stash for a few years now and you just might have shamed me into making a start on them.
I look forward to seeing your DAK, mine were sent to Sri Lanka for painting while l concentrated on their 8th Army opponents.

[MABO]

So I am interested in your 8th Army boys as well, Phil! And I can't make you ashamed, keeping in mind that I have the Brits, the DAK and several small additional metal sets in my basement...

[C M Dodson]

Very nice indeed.

Best wishes,

Chris

I will put up some photos of the Desert Rats once the mess from a recent house move is cleared!
My wife has made me promise to resist any more purchases until l have cleared some of the Stash of Shame

Oh, you have been on Utah beach too?

For US infantry these guys look great Mabo. I have to stick with Napoleonics as olive drab and khaki would drive me nuts. I initially thought about making ACW armies to game with but endless blue and gray pushed me towards a slightly earlier period. You certainly made these Yanks a great looking unit though.
Cheers,

Lovely work, Jan.

[zirrian]

Nice work! I have a box of them coming, hope I will eventually paint them up too

[MABO]

Thanks for you comments, David, Dalibor and Tamás!

From what I can see it looks like you have done a great job with these. Your color choices are spot on for WWII US army.
