Re: Scots Greys

Peninsular British Light and Heavy dragoons are a bit more urgent than yet another Scots Grey set.
These two sets are going to be made by another manufacturer who are currently running crowdfunding, I would rather wait for those than have Strelets duplicating them even though Strelets would make a much better job of making them.

100$ on those sets never to be made. They are cursed.

Re: Scots Greys

Although the main webpage of the maker says the crowdfunding has only reached 7 out 10 a post by the company's admin person has stated on the the dragoons crowdfunding post that they have been approved for manufacture.
This other company has no idea how to keep its customers happy & informed & updates its webpages only about four times a year if that.

with Sergeant Charles Ewart in "Contact" with a french Lancer about the captured Flag of the 45th Regiment?
Ortwin.

Figures for Sgt. Ewart capturing the eagle are available in 1/72 white metal from Waterloo 1815:

Click on the picture to enlarge it and go to the next pic to get a decent look at them. Nice figures I think.

I agree with some of the others I want Scots Greys in bearskins without oilskin covers, when a unit has a distinctive uniform feature I like to see it.

For the small numbers I want I can use another set with head swaps but that won't work for you if you want 400. If Strelets aren't interested then you could try lobbying ACTA to make their 1/32 set in 1/72. But Strelets should know that if they made this set and they looked good, I don't think I'd be able to resist buying them, count me in.

Re: Scots Greys

The final words in the post above says it all.
"If strelets made them & they looked good I don't think I would be able to resist buying them".
I think most of us would agree with this statement.:laughing:

Oh yes, thank you. They are nice! I'll buy them.

And i also thought that something famous should work good, when skilled manufacturers do them.
