Strelets French Cuirassiers in Winter Dress

[MABO]

I have not as much time as I want for the hobby at the moment. So I was not very active. But today I can post at least some pictures from my newly based Strelets Cuirassiers.

I really like this set. There are some cool poses. Painting these guys happened some years ago, but in my project to base or rebase old figs, I finally made these four groups. I hope you like them.









I tested some new products to create snow. A combination of AK Terrains and Deluxe Materials. The tuffs are from Army painter.

Nicely painted. I especially like the trumpeter.

Nice set-up Jan
your different coat colours give it a more Glorious or pompous aspect. Probably not your intention.

I like these sculpts as well

Cheers Michael

Thank you. folks!

[Santi Pérez]

Great paint job on these cuirassiers, MABO... despite they are from Strelets.

My best regards.

Santi.

Very nice to see these painted! And they look nice too!

[Mr. Andrea]

Kudos! You know I am not a fan of old Strelets figures; but your paintjob on these figures converted them into something very special. Now, I am also considering of buying them.

[MABO]

You are a better painter than me, Andrea, so they will look pretty in the end. I lke the whole "winter gear range" of Strelets Nappies.

Very successful presentation and beautiful painting!
A better result one can not be achieved from this old strelets set.
Great job!

[Bill Slavin]

These look great, MABO. They have a real campaign look to them and you have done a great job. Weighing in on the Strelets debate I admit to at one time finding them ungainly but I've grown to really like their character!

[MABO]

Thank you once more guys!

[Bluefalchion]

I am not a fan of these figures, but I am a fan of the guy who painted them! And the cool snowy terrain. Nice work.

[Kekso]

They look awesome

[Peter]

Like them a lot! The brush- and groundwork is fantastic!

[Marvin]

There's few things I love to see more than to see beautifully painted Strelets Napoleonics in the snow (yes I have a number of these things). Never attempted their cuirassiers in winter dress but these look super. Snow is really good, I like that slushy wet look. Excellent work, Jan!

[MABO]

Thank you both. Very kind.

They convey the winter spirit…although it´s really hot still in Spain¡

It is, Jan not Michael, but thanks for your nice words anyway...
