First of all, Strelets, thank you for giving us another fine teaser picture of an upcoming artillery piece. It's amazing you always come through with photographic evidence proving your commitment to us, your company, and the hobby. You guys never stop the joy.

Next, Congratulations to both the French and Croation Teams for putting on a masterful display of football skills. Combined 6 points - wow, no letting-up in that match. It takes relentless offense and defense, and back again to non-stop defense and offense to put up that many points.

And finally, the happiest news of all to me, there appears to be universal agreement by all that the Russian people hosted what they are saying was the greatest World Cup ever. Not just the game, but food, friendship, and a clean safe environment for all. One news story here shown in the U.S. showed a large group of guests with an equally large and enthusiastic group of locals partying like never before. And the news reported when their games were over, they were having so much fun why end it there? They just kept right on partying.

So thank you and congratulations to all participants on the field of play and the Russian people for hosting one of the greatest international shows on earth.

I mean at Football events, it was really breathtaking environment! Really International crowd who spoke International(English)language, most of people stayed there, even their teams went home. Beer, hugs and kisses

Also eager to see all arty shown by Strelets

Dear GarrisonClay,

the French should be cautious in their joy, as it can be short-lived - revenge may be well under way :horse_racing: :



On another note - US will host in the not-so-distant future a similar event, even on bigger scale, and we all wish you have as much fun, as we had with ours.

Best regards,

Strelets

to be released this year?!

Dearest Strelets,

I don't mind admitting that today is my 62nd BDay and you just made it just as exciting as my 11th BDay discovering 1/72 toy soldiers, especially the Airfix Fort Sahara.

And now look what you guys are doing - updating and raising the bar with new 1/72 Arab sets and I think Beau Geste FFL, too. Half a century later when I should have "out-grown" the excitement of discovering these works-of-art, your fine sculptors create for us, I find myself saying - "I've got to have them, the new Strelets' sets!

Thank you my friends for keeping alive the sweetness of being a kid and giving me new works of art to add to my collection. I don't care what they say. If I qualify to be a candidate to go to heaven after all is said and done, I'm renting a U-Haul Truck and taking my Collection with me.

Faithfully yours - GC

Just a small point of information Garrison, they're called goals not points. Not having a go, just making sure you know the correct lingo :grinning:

Dear Graham,

I won't use "points" anymore, and I suppose "Bingo!" is out of the question, to?

Only kidding. :-)

I sincerely appreciate your coaching me on the proper lingo for a game I am still learning. I tried to sound like I knew what I was talking about, but clearly I need your assistance. So don't give up on me and I promise I'll do my best.

Cheers - GC

Oh yes Mr Strelets they look great give me give me now.
