New ACW? - OMG!

Dearest Strelets,

Oh my gosh! I just saw your Oct 28th "Teaser Posting" of a new set in the "New ACW?" thread below.

Could it be "U.S. Cavalry at Gettysburg?" The poses and details of the three masters you posted are Spectacular! I've always felt that if the sculptor designed a well-crafted head and hat or helmet, all else will just fall in place. And you've once again achieved that here. The Cavalry Kepi is authentically shaped and even has the Crossed Sabres Insignia Badge right on top (gosh, how awesomely cool!). The faces look right out of the period. The Shell Jacket adorns a standing collar, trimmed sleeves and edges, and he's strapped on the whole mix of accoutrements and weapons, and stripes on his trousers and those handsome Cavalry Boots.

You won't believe me when I tell you that my #1 wish my entire life has been for a set of U.S. Cavalry in 1/72 just like this. How did you know? I was born in 1956 so you can do the math and see it's been half a century I've wished for this. Oh my gosh! I think I'm going to do like John Wayne in "Horse Soldiers" and pour a couple of shots of Whiskey over some ice to celebrate this by toasting you, our good friends in the U.K. and Ukraine and just let it sink in.

So, here's to you - Three cheers and Thank you Strelets Team!

To All Forum Members,

Please forgive me for not posting Strelet's Link to the ACW U.S. Cavalry pictures below. In all my excitement ... ! Here it is:

P.S. My purpose in beginning a Part II Thread for/as "New ACW? - OMG" is simply to keep the topic current and not get lost below. The more exposure Strelets gets for it's Multi-Ranged Themes then the better we can all plan and save to invest in Strelet's Fine Military Miniatures. Plus this is such a lively forum, Threads and/or Posts can quickly disappear. With all due respect for Napoleonic Collectors and ACW Collectors!
