Re: Surprise: Swedish tv documentation about TYW features 1/72 figures

Interesting post, 0nn0. Thanks for the video link.

I'm thinking you would be a very knowledgeable person.

I've started to build armies using Revell and ACTA and some metals but it's hard. I should add that the missed opportunity that is Mars is a sore disappointment with me.

Re: To Strelets: Any chance for a Thirty Years War - line?

Dear OnnO,

we didn't plan such a line, since we will never beat Revell's series, which, in our opinion, are one of the highest achievements not only of Revell but in our hobby as a whole.

Best regards,

Strelets

Re: To Strelets: Any chance for a Thirty Years War - line?

i agree that the revell sets are great.
im glad you didnt feel that way when you put out your first norman and saxon sets.

Re: To Strelets: Any chance for a Thirty Years War - line?

Dear Strelets, thanks for your quick reply!
Right, the Revell sets were great (I collected them all). But they not even covered the basic troops.
There were
- Imperial and Swedish Infantry (not enough pikemen compared to the musketeers)
- Imperial and Swedish Cavalry
- Only Imperial artillery

Since Revell stopped releasing any new sets long ago, there never will be
- Swedish artillery (with their famous lightweight leather cannons)
- Siege artillery & troops
- Dragoons (especially fighting as infantry)
- French, Bohemian, Spanish, Scottish/Irish, Danish, Dutch...
And of course all variety of special sets, which we only can get from Strelets:
Before battle, marching, camp...

BTW: You don't have to beat the Revell sets. Your own standard of sculpting already has improved to a very high level. Everyone (but PSR) will see that at first glance. The Stamford Bridge / Norman /Anglo-Saxon masters are incredible. Maybe You change Your mind one day. There's plenty of time until 2048.

Re: To Strelets: Any chance for a Thirty Years War - line?

Yeah there are definitely many more topics to cover in the TYW that the revell sets did not cover.
