Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

not bad for top hatted alamo figures as well.
i will be purchasing a few sets,well done.

Re: Masters for American Militia in Winter Dress

Oh wow! These masters are fantastic. This is another set bound to become a long sought after set for years to come. These will certainly fill one of the hobbies largest voids. In addition to the War of 1812, they will be manning the walls of my Alamo, and Scouting some AWI Wagon Trains in the wilderness. Well done S*R Team - Thank you!

If I may say, I love the top-hats in this set. Since there should be an "in Summer Dress" future set, I hope it will have a few more pioneer/mountain-men in racoon-skin caps and deer-skins to go with the 1 in this set. These guys look so realistic.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Excellent figures. Better than just about anything I've seen.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

I can see so many uses for this set! They could fight at the Wabash and Fallen Timbers in the 1790s, at Thames in the War of 1812, They could fight Creek Indians with General Jackson and some at New Orleans 1815, and some will fight at the Alamo!

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Probably suitable for some Canadian militia units too!

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

I know that there were a lot of groans out there from those that feel US history is a big waste of time, but I was absolutely thrilled when I stopped by & saw this set listed! I was positively giddy as I viewed the poses! My wife thought I was looking at porn from all the ooooohs & ahhhhs I was making! Wonderful job Strelets! I could NOT be happier! So looking forward to the rest of the line! (I hope!)

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

I have to agree stunning figures, my one critical observation would be the muskets/rifles are a bit chunky and bulky but that aside quite marvelous figures and poses.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

SUPERB! Cappy

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

O dear, dear, dear. How can I possibly resist these figures.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Oh I agree! All these figs will find their way to my Alamo Texas Defenders! (excerpt the NCO) I do like that they included a "Regular" NCO! The poses are great! I agree, I do hope they make more buckskin/coon skin militia with the summer troops!

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Very good figures full of possibilities not just for 1812 North America, The AWI, The Alamo, Spanish Napoleonic Guerrilla's or any other armed civilians from the Musket era.

Would also welcome a 2nd set in summer clothing

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

I had no intention of buying these figures when I saw them listed, but
the scuplts are irresistable. So many possibilities, so many uses. Well done.
Lets hope summer figures well.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

magnificent

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Things have been 'quiet' on the Strelets website lately, but this one was well worth the wait. I can but add to the happy chorus. Lovely looking set. They will grace many a tabletop, along with those great looking Brits in greatcoats.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Never had any interest in Napoleonics but these could just convert me! Highly recommend Pierre Berton's "The Invasion of Canada 1812-1813", cracking read if you haven't read it.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

These are the best looking figures I've seen done. Now, expand the range.

swap some airfix tricorn on these for confederate militia

i'm not dead yet,not back in 1/72. However lets be radical , I'd swap some airfix tricorn on these and use right up to early confederate militia companies. Just popped in to see whats agoing on and rattle the cage.

PK not forgotten watch the mail.

Re: American Militia in Winter Dress

Well, if they come out of the moulds looking like that, that would be grand.
