Re: The colours

Chapeau sir!

Much better figure, this is more in the spirit of things.

I am sure a lot of people will enjoy painting this unique little cameo.

Re: The colours

Nice one I hope it comes in May! Though I would really like flagless poles, most use paper flags but I guess some are fans of the plastic flag. Maybe a finial would be good too.

Re: The colours

Well done Strelets.

Gentlemen,

to those of you, who alleged our disrespect towards the colours.


Best regards,

Strelets
Unfortunately flags did end up on the floor but this pose is really good. Even better is a company that reads comments from their punters and acts on them!

At about the 48 second mark the Union soldier prevents the Confederate colors from falling as the Confederate soldier dies with the flag.

I know that is the noble spirit that I consider when I think of the American Civil War.

Thank you Strelets for changing the figure.

Re: The Colors

those are great looking masters. I'd prefer that the sculptor put any one of the appropriate patterns on the flags. Then both non-painters and painters could choose whether to cut it off and replace with paper flags.

Re: The Colors

AWESOME pose !!!
Thank you once again STRELETS !
It's a good choice to get inspired by the famous American artists like Keith ROCCO, Mort KUNTSLER, an Don TROIANI.
GarrisonClay is right too about the painting or paper flag option.
According to my painting skills I shall surely choose the paper flag option...
Yes thanks again STRELETS and go on with such your wonderful creativity !

Re: The Colors

May I add my kudos and thanks for a superb figure and alteration. Well done.

Re: The Colors

A great relief to know this issue of crucial significance has been handled in such a masterly manner. :laughing:

To be honest, the two figures are incredibly authentic & realistic.
Extremely well conceived and realised. Already a small scene itself, many ACW buffs will undoubtedly put these figures to good use.

That said, I hope the original casualty pose will still be included in one of Strelets upcoming CSA sets?! :wink:
