Welcome to 2023 - Vichy French - Perry Miniatures.

The first post of the year happy 2023 everyone.....

The few days between Christmas and New Year have been productive with the first of the French Vichy coming off the production line.



The first squad 11 French men a mix of Adrian Helmets and Legionaries Kepi's each squad contains an NCO, LMG team and Grenade Launcher. All figures from Perry Miniatures WW2 Range.



The second squad with a mirrored structure, these are presented as the 6th Foreign Infantry Regiment these were the best troops available to the Vichy French Command. The Vichy need a few extra's to increase their support options, I have a short list for Perry's in the days ahead. 

Those will have to wait as I have quite the backlog building up as the family came through with a number of Christmas reinforcements.... add these to the Gentleman's War set, 8th Army Carrier Patrol and several freebee's from club members there are probably another 130 potential mini's waiting in the wings plenty to go over the next couple of months.... I best grab the Airfix glue and snippers.


Until next time.....

  2. The Vichy troops look "formidable"(said with a French accent!) Stu, and that is a significant pile of Western Desert figures to keep you busy....Happy New Year!

    1. It certainly is Keith, all roads lead to the Lebanon this year with WW2 and the Crusades coming up.

  4. Happy New Year Stu! The boxes of unpainted Christmas reinforcements look more formidable to me than the Vichy French but they are very nicely done!

  5. Nice Vichy French, unusual choice but clever as enemies or allies to British and US forces.
