Indeed they are wonderful and I'd be happy to see more in a similar vein in future sets. Well done Strelets.

I agree reading the new civilian figures in the Chasseurs set.

Reading the various comments made over the last day or two, I wonder whether it is time for Strelets to release a set of Napoleonic (in UK terms 'Georgian') civilians. These seem to be getting a 10/10 rating whenever they are seen.

Whereas the poor old horses seem not to be rating so highly:worried:

Love the new civilians, if only they were more Byzanty.

"Georgian" looks like too broad a term to me. Let's say "Regency", for the Brits, and "Empire", for the "rest of the world". :innocent:

BTW, I think those ladies look not bad but a bit - well - "straight-laced"? I'd say, our chasseurs would have liked them a bit more "swinging" ...

:grin:

Is it a good idea to show pictures like that to blokes our age ?

Never mind give me a figure based on that Madame Récamier portrait, I'll take the risk.:blush:

Seriously, female figures in the diaphanous muslin gowns that were the very height of fashion would be great.

That 1st painting was that good i thought i was looking at a photograph for a moment!!!

They are indeed great. I would love to see civilians for the North Africa kits. Perhaps leading baggage camels? :wink:
