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.
A very fine Contribution, which I realise is but a small element of a very much larger project.
These soldiers seem to reflect the military axiom of 'A ragged soldier with a shiny musket' very well: I very much like the variety of poses and uniform (or lack of), giving the whole a very realistic impression of a Confederate mid-War infantry unit.
Mark has said it all. I particularly like the range of figures and poses that you have used. I always like that approach, but it looks particularly appropriate for American Civil War.
May I add my congratulations to the others on this splendid disheveled group.
Although the civil war is well represented as regards figures. I can see why some use of Boer war participants could also be used.
The trouble with this hobby is you can easily get distracted, must concentrate.
Well done Chris.
These guys sure look like a bunch of rough but ready Confederates to me!! Top work Chris!
Chris' Waterloo refight/diorama was my inspiration for properly starting up the hobby again and working towards my own diorama.
Following the posts ticking down the clock for that battle on the old Hat contributions page was great.
Then of course we were treated to Ligny and Quatre Bras!
His work with the 100 days campaign was amazing and im sure his ACW work will be no different.
It is interesting that you have been inspired by Wolfgang Meyer. I did not know of him (being one who likes to see dioramas, but not actively 'into' them) until I saw this recent tribute post dedicated to him:
I did not know him by name (clearly), but I have seen Wolfgang Meyer's marvellous "Cröbern 1813", "Möckern 1813" dioramas on that website, many times in the past. In fact it was a joy to see the developments with it leading up to the bicentennial of Leipzig (if I recall the timing correctly?).
