Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
As an American I typically order all of my Strelets figures from Scott's Model Shop on ebay. His prices are always fair, and as far as I can tell the cheapest anywhere in the states. A typical Strelets set usually runs me about 15$ on his shop, which becomes even che...

More photos of dinosaurs and a few action shots in the next few days.

I noticed on Hannants future release page three new sets, two from china toys ,whom up until now have only done 1/32 , not my era but they look very good on the box art .
https://bunkermeister.blogspot.com/2024/09/dinosaur-figures.html
I hope someone does more prehistoric people.
My plan is to post here everyday for a while to try and perk this group up a little.
Strelets deserves our support.

As expected and deserved, your Bavarians in square received a 'nod of approval' from Plastic Soldier Review, with near top ratings.
Thank you for another excellent set of figures and really novel poses.

This is to let you know, that new lot of figures started distribution.

Please be guided accordingly.

It has been a busy weekend at the Mont St Jean A&E with casualty numbers rising alarmingly. The figures are mostly by the highly talented Liam with others by me and Sully. The addition of some straw tends to blend things in nicely but I intend to mix the straw in a b...
It appears some life/host/Strelets maybe has gleaned and cleaned the spam and unrelated posts from this forum. We are not totally abandoned perhaps after all. I translate that as a GOOD sign.
Came across these packs by accident. Absolutely lovely and an instant buy for me even though I have little use for them being mainly into fantasy these days.
I've worked on the Mont St Jean model this weekend. It's still not finished - the road needs to be laid, and the courtyard base is too pale and syrupy. The stands of the figures need to be better concealed, but you get the general idea.
Despite these forthcoming i...

Just a couple of days ago PSR posted their usual excellent review of this set on their Home/Review page. Worth a look. They also list a nice selection of sources at the bottom - many still available on Amazon &/or EBay. Also would like to note this set of figures is...
It seems, that HÄT is now out of biz.
No new releases (latest release 2020?) and for the sets 'in preparation' no updates.
It's a pity that such an productive and innovative manufacturer seems to be dead.

Painted some dismounted French dragoons. Reasonable job, then varnished them with Matt clear varnish… but it seems to have dried gloss.
A repainting made no difference!
Any suggestions to try to rectify this?
