Re: US troops in attack masters up!

OK! But no one can say that this is not another sculptor...compared to the ww2 Indian inf. these ACW sets are of another hand.



To be honest a lot of the WWII stuff by Strelets is better than other periods, but that seems to be the case with every brand.

Like the sculptors at Airfix who's very same toy soldiers they designed in the 1960's are still popular today. I still buy the US Cavalry, all of the WWI sets, the Wagon Train both original and reissue, Barbarians and others when they are rereleased in new colors. Strelets sculptors are now above and beyond anything Airfix ever made and will go on to influence another half century of fans.

Re: US troops in attack masters up!

Looking at the scenes from Fredericksburg, it seems that a missing pose is the half crouch half run of men advancing into a hail of shot and shell, instinctivly trying to make themselves small. Hopefully smaller than the guy on front!

Re: US troops in attack masters up!

Not sure if the sculptors intent was to make a coat that could work both as a frock coat and a greatcoat like the Irish Brigade at Fredericksburg, but from a distance and painted in light blue why not? But apparently there are sets with greatcoats coming eventually.

I'm putting the images of the figures here in this thread.
