Unboxing Perry Miniatures Battle in a Box: American Civil War [Unboxing] 

Nice song choice it goes really well with the unboxing 😀 2:05

That cavalry sprue - I used that to make Zulu Wars British Auxiliary cavalry. Used Warlord British Zulu Wars heads.

That first sprue you showed - Michael and Alan Perry met up with us in Wellington New Zealand and gave me a pre-production run of that sprue. I framed it and it is on my wall - next time they came to New Zealand they autographed it.

This was/is a great starter set. I got two of them as a base for my two ACW armies.

The one barrel with the band in the back (Artillery) is what is known as a Parrot rifled type. It was his way of reinforcing the breech to take the pounding of the explosive charge without it fragging the crew, since it was all wrought iron in construction. The other barrel below that one might be a 3" ordnance rifle. Right across of the Parrot is probably a Napolean 12 pounder where it is a cast bronze barrel and named for the ruler of France Napolean III which backed and had a hand in it's development in France in the mid 1850's. The last one could cover almost anything from a M1841 howitzer to a British Blakely type as nothing other than the muzzel reinforcement bands is jumping out at me and a lot of designed used those.

Brilliant value for money nice look mate

Great video. So many miniatures! Would love to see them built someday.

thank you

If you wanted to also the Zouaves are just copies of the French ones so you could use them rather then paying more for metal ones

That is a butt load of figures! Total deal though. I can't blame you.

Awesome! I have been slowly building and painting them up. I have been taking some of the Confederate minis and painting Union colors, both sides pretty much have similar uniforms. I had a coupe hiccups during the paint challenge. First, work decided to remind me how I'm able to purchase these minis. Ha Ha! Second, Had a stint in the hospital (Blood Pressure went bonkers). I'm back at it now and painting a box of the Continental Army. (It's 4th of July, so why not). Enjoy painting the 170 plus minis! Great video. Take Care! 👍

2:38 technically speaking you could make confederate zoaves

seemed like you rushed through this did not pause enough to look at each sprue. what was the hurry?

Very nice figures and nice unboxing. Check out my painted rivendell knights when you have time. Tell me what do you think, if more transition needs on the cloacks, thanks.

Can you make just a one sided army with all the miniatures?
