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.
Great looking figures. With all the mounted master figures that have been shown here in the last week or two, I'm starting to lose track of how many different sets these might fit into when they hit the market.
If I may have a (very minor) observation...is the head of the trooper here a little on the large size? It looks that way to me, but it might just be the effect of a big hat and big hair! Once he's mounted on his horse it probably won't notice, and I can certainly live with slightly big-headed (self-assured) cavalry anyway....
Stop, but stop, so whet our appetites and serve us these dishes. To see them, I'm hungry. Nothing but beautiful people and adorable subjects . . . . I love it . . . Thank you Strelets. . :heart_eyes: :stuck_out_tongue:
This is so amazing. We're getting French Garde du Corps (with the crossbelt), Grenadiers a Cheval (with the fur-trimmed caps) and Mousquetaires du Roi (with the cassock). I assume there is another set of Gendarmes d'Elite in there with the lacing without the crossbelt!
And once you're done with those, you have the line cavalry - a set of regular cavalerie (maybe Cuirassiers du Roi, since those are more interesting than boring old horsemen in coats and hats); sets of mounted and dismounted dragoons; and, my personal dream, the Hussards be Bercheny!

Hi Samogon,
The figures (well.. some) for the Gendarmerie were already posted. They were actually the first pictures of French cavalry to be uploaded by Strelets.
Look at the kettledrummer and the lacing of the officer:
