Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
I hope Strelets will make the best out of this beautiful masters. I was waiting for a long time for a set of this guys to arrive at such a high standard... they will sell like hotcakes for sure (while GarrisonClay alone will probably buy half of the produced sets :smile: ).
Now we can just cross our fingers and wait in hope for a new Boer Commando set, so that our new British troops will get a worthy adversary.
Add me to the growing list of admirers of these masters, Strelets please do all you can so that the figures we buy are equally as good, if they are then I will be buys lots of them, whoop whoop delighted.
Sigh... I've shared elsewhere my previous heartbreak and abandonment of 19th C. British Colonial Campaigns in 1/72 scale; but with the resurgence across the board of beautiful sets like these I'm sorely tempted to come back in. Even the daunting thought of my painting backlog isn't really a deterrent as with the colors the new sets are coming out in I can "play with them straight out of the box if I so choose.
This words are enough, that my crossed fingers are getting a bit loose and my waiting in hope feels like I'm almost half there. Thank you Strelets for delving further into 'The Last of the Gentlemen's Wars'.
Great to have a Boer war set of infantry but I assume that this is Slade Wallace equipment and that, at this scale, there's no discernable difference between a Lee Enfield of the period and a Lee Metford?
Assuming so, this is a great set of infantry for the North West Frontier, and would complement the HaT Indian infantry and Bengal Lancers.
I'd love to see some new Highlanders of this period in due course.

And bring on the Pathans!
The Lee Metford is quite distinct from the Enfield due to the half round fore stock and conventional protruding muzzle vs the full round hand guard and "snub nose" appearance of the L.E.
IMHO this would be quite noticeable at 1/72, given the superlative standard of sculpting in these new figures
Brilliant figures and yes cant wait for boers as well ,cavalry, artillery,civilians,medical,pack animals,in English as well ,as native and allied contingents for both sides !!!!!
