The twin brothers '''Alan''' and '''Michael Perry''' were [[Games Workshop]] miniature sculptors from 1978{{Fn|2a}} until 2014.{{Fn|1}}
Alan and Michael were born in 1961 and grew up in North London.{{Fn|3}} The Perry Brothers were still in school when they begun their careers at Games Workshop. The pair had been sculpting their own 90mm miniatures at the time when [[Ian Livingstone]] and [[Steve Jackson]] took an interest in their work. The Perrys met Ian and Steve at the Hammersmith Games Workshop store to show their miniatures, and were hired soon after.{{Fn|2a}}
Today they operate their own miniatures company, '''Perry Miniatures''', which creates historical miniatures for various periods of history from the Crusades to the Second World War.{{Fn|5}} At the time Perry Miniatures was created, the twins were still working at Games Workshop.{{Fn|6}} Today their efforts are focused on Perry Miniatures and creating 54mm World War One sculpts for Peter Jackson.{{Fn|1}}
The Perry Brothers are keen reenactors, where they participate in [[Wikipedia:English Civil War|English Civil War]] and [[Wikipedia:War of the Roses|War of the Roses]] reenactments.{{Fn|2d}}{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}} It was whilst participating in a reenactment of the [[Wikipedia:Battle of Crécy|Battle of Crécy]] as the crew of an English cannon, that one of the most defining moments of Michael's life took place;{{Fn|2d}}

Michael's right arm was amputated, though he made a swift recovery. As a right handed sculptor this posed a large challenge for Michael, though only ten days after the accident he had scultped his first miniature with his left hand. The twins also have good memories of reenacting. Later while reenacting in Switzerland Alan had [[Wikipedia:John_Howe_John Howe (illustrator)|John Howe]] fall out of a tree and land on him.{{Fn|2e}} The twins and John became close friends, and while at one of John's art shows in Paris the twins met [[Wikipedia:Peter Jackson|Peter Jackson]].{{Fn|2e}}
