Me too, ww1 would be great

Personally, I will buy these figurines. And for several reasons. I've heard that engraving riders and horses is very difficult. The subject is original and unique. The period for these figurines has never been processed (to my knowledge). Admittedly, swords too short, hats and big heads, but once painted and placed on a diorama . . . . . . . It is more an overview, which will erase these annoying details. Thanks Strelets, a question: When will they be produced???

I WILL BE BUYING ALL WSS sets, as having been a wargamer for at least 6 decades i am delighted that Strelets are producing this era no matter what comments a certain poster has made about certain errors , i totally respect his point of view and his detailed knowledge but am moved to say that if he feels that strongly about the figures, he could produce correct master sculpts for Strelets

from a wargamers point of view, being at least 3 feet / 1 metre above games table the finer points of detail disappear , as long as the figures are painted nicely and as for this period it is extremely colourful and much easier to paint then Napoleonic's

when i first started WSS the only figures available were metal ones from Les Higgins, Alberken, Minifigs S range, Douglas Miniatures, some of which were very generic and basic but painted up for various nations looked fine

i always look at figures to see what unit/nation they could be used for as a decent paint job can make all the difference, for me the game is the most important
cheers, stay safe in these troubled times

Quite right, the paint and sometimes the scraping, erases the wrong details. That is, the bad details are always present, but the eye no longer sees them . . . Accuracy is a decoy, and truth is a point of view.

"... if he feels that strongly about the figures, he could produce correct master sculpts for Strelets..."

Excuse me? That's not my job. I'm not a sculptor. But I'm also not trying to make money by producing crap. I'm a customer who counts on the knowledge and craftsmanship of sculptors, among them Strelets's sculptors, who pretend to produce accurate figures. It's my money they want. They have to do their job perfectly. If they are not able to do that - **** off! "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"? Well, apparently, some people don't know who exactly is feeding whom and, consequently, who should not bite whose hand. Men know, dogs don't.

Have a nice day.

" i totally respect his point of view and his detailed knowledge "

think you missed the point with your excellent apparent knowledge of the period uniforms etc you could have advised Strelets politely about corrections or improvements of the figures

you seem to infer that i am a dog which i take as a compliment as dogs are more intelligent and well mannered than most humans

and i will be buying all WSS sets, well done to Strelets, as will many of my fellow gamers and friends around the world !!!!!

cheers Old John

Well said, Old John. I'll also be buying everything Strelets produces for the WSS. The three-foot rule negates all nitpickers. :wink:

After 60 years of collecting figures I still enjoy having battles. I just set them up and knock em down.
Dont care about number of buttons or if a rifle is shouldered on the right side or left.
If others do thats fine.
I just have fun and Strelets makes it happen. Cappy

Nice to have some warmth and humour back. master Kunz was rather aggressive there, which did not sit well with me as we are using our host’s goodWill to discuss their products.

I agree, sometimes sets aren’t perfect. And it is good when manufacturers strive to achieve perfection. But I always trust their research and am sure they have reasons for doing what they do.

Ultimately, the market will decide. And for me, as a Naps fan first, then WW2, then 18th century, I for one am very pleased with the new style sculpting and mould quality that Strelets are achieving.

Thank you for your thoughts! Using some of this unusual extra time to reorganize my collection. I don't mind admitting I am more than ready for normal to return.

I'll bet you have gotten some extra figurine painting done and maybe even some online war games fought.

I sincerely hope you, your loved ones, and everyone else are safe and healthy!

Again, thank you.
