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.
Good Napoleonic sets will sell. I agree with previous postings. There are gaps in the sets on offer.
1812 Russian jaeger, which should really only be produced in fighting poses, wearing the greatcoat and with greatcoat strapped around the body would be magic, especially if the sculpting compares to the fighting poses of the latest colonial Brits.
I am looking forward to your announced 1812 Russian sets, but at the same time I am also hoping for musketeers(the bulk of the army and never properly depicted) iso only elites.
This applies to all the other main players as well. French fusiliers with only one belt holding cartridgecase and bayonet can be produced standing at order arms, shoulder arms, marching and fighting. They can wear their greatcoats or strap them to their pack.
Artillery sets, both horse and foot with six men handling the gun and a command group for the main players would raise interest as well.
If the research is good and the sculpting compares to some of your latest sets, you will have a following.
Hi Mr Strelets if you released a set of say 6 or 8 French artillery pieces in a box with no figures.
you could then release the crews of different nations in separate sets for instance I believe The Dutch, Bavarian, Polish, Wurttemberg & others used the same guns.
You could as well consider different timelines as well with 2 different uniforms for the French armies, & add limbers & other things at a later date if these prove popular.:astonished:
'Fed up with Napoleonics', what a strange concept!
Speaking personally, I can always find room for sets that are as beautifully sculpted as yours. For me I'll get the coming late Russians and Austrians in greatcoats in larger numbers as they are not armies/styles that I have built up previously (as I have, for example, with the lovely Redbox early Russians).
As has been noted in previous posts, early Russians in greatcoats and even earlier Russians in hats remain a gap (the old Esci set of 'Prussians' was the only one). Similarly, Austrians in kasket have only been done in a part-set and they are 'giants'.
Still with infantry, few of the French-allies who contributed smaller forces have been produced specifically (e.g Dutch with plume at the side). Then you get into artillery and cavalry...
Napoleonics remain a wonderful, bottomless pit of 1/72nd joy!!
