Strelets Lawrence of Arabia

[Konrad]

Start the work on the new set from STRELETS "Lawrence of Arabia".
Great figs but I am disappointed a little by the horses.
I think I will take other horses.


2008 i painted this sets with the same horses like in the new set.
I believe it is time STRELETS should think about a few new horses for their actual sets.
But this is only my opinion.

[Dad's Army]

WOW Konrad, colorful and fantastic work!

[MABO]

Go, Konrad, go!

[Peter]

Looking forward how you will paint this nice little fellows!

One of my projects for this year to!

[Kekso]

I agree with others. I can't wait to see them painted.

[Konrad]

As I said, I am not satisfied with the horses of STRELETS.
That is why I chose a dromedary from ITALERI.
A little bit converted...
Hope you like it.

Looks good to me Konrad, The dromedary is fine as well. Did you soften the pictures? Or is there a fingerprint on the lences?

[MABO]

Btw: What is wrong with the horses of this set?

[Beano Boy]

Even now a days they still are `The little ships of the desert', that`s for sure. A wise choice in using them ,and the painting is extremely good. Conversions are often the rich prize to aim for in this part of the hobby.Well done. BB

Wonderful work, as usual...

The change of horses suit them well. And the rider with dromedary turns into a masterpiece!

Dear Konrad, for my taste, some of your best works...

Great idea and execution... but isn't the dromedary a bit small?
Cheers Peter

Apart from they are the same ones from the Arab Cavalry, Turkish Seljukes Cavalry, Turcopoles and Mamelukes *sets and they look a bit "not arabian" nag like..(they are too thick necked) ... the Chamfrons
From PSR

One real surprise was the chamfron, a metal horse head armour, worn by the second horse. While archaic items would not have been particularly unusual, we could find no corroboration for metal armour like this in use by 1916. Equally we could not identify or confirm the strange bands round the upper neck of the first horse in the fifth row

* and probably others I have forgotten

Some very detailed work! Fantastic...

[Old Wolf]

Hi Konrad,
great work and a good idea changing the horses with dromedars.
the set seems to be a must have.
hope to see the figs on FIGZ

[Marvin]

Beautiful work, Konrad. The figure seems to go so well with the camel so that was a good call.

Yes, a shame that Strelets didn't produce some new horses for the set - some elegant and sleek grey Arabian horses are required.

[Peter]

Fantastic work on that camel rider Konrad!
