PSR has posted a good review of the new Strelets War of 1812 American
Militia. It looks to be a very nice set and I am looking forward to the
Tecumseh set of Native Americans to be released, the masters of that set
are great.

I have to say that this is a great set. I bought two boxes and was very happy when they arrived yesterday. Very good sculpting and a variety of different poses. Well done Strelets.

Here's a few product requests to expand this range;
-Lafittes Pirates
-American & British soldiers that would be suitable for manning rowing boats.

Thanks!
Pancho.

I wasn't originally planning on getting these, but after seeing the scans and reading the review I might have to reconsider. Hopefully there will also be a regular U.S. Infantry set down the line as well.

Best scores for a Strelets set on PSR ever??? Certainly well deserved but - and I know this can be subjective and expectations change over time - this surpasses some sets that have got 9s and 10s in the sculpting department in my book ;)

By the way, the mystery last figure looks like an officer of Maryland militia to me:



My personal choices for future sets (in addition to the planned Tecumseh) are US Dragoons, Canadian Voltigeurs, US round-jacket regulars (Scott's Brigade), US Militia in tunics on the northern fronts and British Marines in post 1812 dress.

I was at the Salute show in London yesterday and Harfields said the US War of 1812 Militia set are selling like hot cakes. They'd already sold all boxes within 2 hours of the show starting and a similar story with mail order.

Might need to cast some more of these, Strelets!

thats good to hear.it seems to be a very versatile set.some of my figures are going to the alamo and the war with mexico,besides 1812.
i better get a few more boxes when i can before they sell out.
