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.
still working on my Napoleonic project, to keep it interesting i tend to work on different units at the sametime, so on the workbench at the moment are French line infantry being painted as penal units and the recently released Franznap Baden hussars and a dismounted Napoleon offering snuff to an officer of his escort.
Hello,
I am just painting my last group of the Prussian Landwehr of Strelets.
By the end of the year I would like to have a whole battalion ready.
I think the Corona calm will give me the time to do so.
Let us use this time... :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I am taking a stab at Italari's Indian Warriors set to add to my French and Indian War collection. Really nice figures and I am enjoying painting them much more than I anticipated.
Catching up on a backlog from a lack of mojo over the last year probably , on my table started are Strelets FFL patrol, WW2 FFL , Hat Austrians, PSC Bren gun carriers, and loads of Germania ZW stuff, but this week finished FFL artillery, Boer war Brits, US heavy weapons and cannone da 105/28, and intend continuing to play catch up while I am properly in the mood.
I've put my WoSS project on hold pending the arrival (at a lively canter) of the various Strelets cavalry sets that we have had sight of in the last few weeks.
So...it's nothing Strelets at present I'm afraid. Since the summer I have been amassing figures for a Thirty Years War project, and I have taken the decision not to start painting any of these until all are ready for painting...which sounds a bit like a strange statement, but underlies the fact that some 75% of the figures (Revell, ACTA, Zvezda and a few Mars) are converted to a greater or lesser extent. This might be a head-swap or something more complicated. The collection runs to 600 infantry and 200+ cavalry plus numerous guns and crews: it may also feature a full scale 17th century baggage park as well. The forces are Swedish/Protestant and Imperial for the early 1630s. So the converting/preparing/priming process is all taking some time.
And in between UK lockdowns I have also had surgery on both eyes, which has slowed the process a bit!
Results will hopefully start to be posed on Bennos towards the end of this year/early 2021....
By which time of course Strelets may have their WoSS cavalry sets out. Happy days!
Long term 1066, I've completed Strelets big boxes and just finished Tumbling Dice Vikings plus the usual suspects so for this lockdown its TD Anglo Saxons.
As I write its Italeri Gladiators as a companion set to Orion Gladiators. Once finished, this week I'll be onto the Arena. With all the acts including animals, chariots, martyrs and fighters I'll be able to supply a main feature and full supporting programme. I could do with an audience (any suggestions).
So many soldiers, so little time..

Trying to get a range of Commonwealth carriers - attempting on and off (struggling!) to convert a PSC universal carrier to a Windsor carrier. Need to finish off painting my strelet heavy WW1 howitzer.
World at War A9 and A9CS have just been completed so could really do with some BEF figures or early WW2 Italian campaign figures would be welcomed from Strelet to go with them!
