Strelets news 2020

This turn the preview shows WSS figures again.

That actually looks like the type of "nag" they'd ride.

I know Italeri & Zvesda produce beautiful horse models but they're impossibly beautiful: troopers riding horses only a general would have.

A few more previews were added, very nice WSS figure again.

[Ochoin]

A lot like the Italeri horse from the Nap. French staff box.

Again, nice, realistic sculpt. The problem might be how many of these idiosyncratic mounts you get in a box.
An entire regiment with every horse "laughing" & every other horse grazing would look daft.

Not to mention an entire squadron puffing away would look like a tobacco advertisement.....

Nice sculpted horses, but the head of the second one is to low. It passes the base and that isn't good.

[Fairoaks024]

I don't know much about the WSS uniforms etc., but the pistols look to be the wrong way round. Is it correct for this era?
Edit:- ignore me. Was interested enough to go and look it up. Definitely correct sculpting.

Nice work on the horse sculpting.

I think that "reverse" position of guns permit an easily extraction. (right hand extract left gun).

Still waiting for the upcoming Streletz Christmas release...
The discussion about horse necks is getting better and better. Poor sculptors; they never get it right
What I like about many of the cavalry sets is that they give a lot of great commanders for the Armies. In particular the different French Guards have super potential - with lace all over. Really fashionable.

Tension is rising
Expectations as well

A beautiful Christmas surprise.

[Erich von Manstein]

Strelets New Year's greetings. Some very nice WSS subjects again.

I don't think anyone's put up pictures of the Strelets Vikings set which is out now? They look like the figures from the Stamford Bridge set but that's been OOP for a while. Last time I saw one for sale, it was like 60 bucks on eBay. Least we can finally buy them again (just in time for Vikings Season 6 B).

I can see this set on eBay now, so you can order them already.







Love the knotwork-shield raider.

Sorry to interrupt the actual sword and shield discussion.

On PSR I see the complete set of the Foreign Legion. (Strelets)
Poses and there duty, or not like this (Dio builder like me) we need so much more for several timelines.

Now the Revell Afrika Korps man with his cup can have some drinking buddies at last.
