Re: Week-end is approaching

Teaching the young to smoke, such an early 20th century thing to do!

Re: Week-end is approaching

The soldier feeding the child is a very thought provoking pose.
Most certainly a pose far behind front lines, as I can't imagine a child getting anywhere close to the trenches......apart from those teens who lied about their age and became soldiers themselves.
Maybe a refugee in a urban setting, with conflict taking place on the outskirts of town etc.
Really nice pose anyway.

Re: Week-end is approaching

Love the Italian figure, but I'm wondering what that tiny detail behind his sunhelmet should be, perhaps some bersaglieri feathers?

Re: Week-end is approaching

The feathers are fun to paint and look good, but there are probably too many on Italians in 1/72, a guy in a big wig...again, and a German soldier feeding a child, clearing that one has got others thinking too, what scenario ??...well just behind the front would be Belgium and France, and by wars end small local children would accept the Germans as just part of everyday life maybe, but for most in occupied area`s they were the enemy, this sort of thing must of happened for sure. Not a pose I would have wanted or expected, but I do like it.

Re: Week-end is approaching

Another Friday with more great figures!

The WoSS Trumpeter is superb, and will be a very useful figure in whichever set this is part of.

The Italian bersaglieri soldier is very well done. This new Italian set is looking very interesting based on the masters we have so far seen.

The WW1 German feeding the refugee child is very touching, and another first for this hobby.

Well done Strelets!

Have a good weekend:slightly_smiling_face:

Re: Week-end is approaching

Mr. Strelets, A wonderful set of Dutch Cuirassiers! The trumpeter in today's post does not match any of them. May we have a hint as to which set it will be a part of?

And indeed when we can expect to see all these WoSS cavalry sets? I believe that, conservatively, there are quite a lot of them in the pipeline: two French Maison du Roi (Gardes du Corps and Musketeers), two French dragoons (in attack and on-the-march), two different sets of British Horse and Dragoons; Austrian cuirassiers and Dutch cuirassiers. And another set of French 'late war' dragoons. That is at least 9 sets.

Patience is a virtue...but???

Have a good weekend:relaxed:

Re: Week-end is approaching

Totally agree! I want those Maison du Roi !!!!!
And while we're at it: Could you put two bonus figures into some of the next sets: a drummer and a standard bearer for the dismounted WSS French dragoons?

Re: Week-end is approaching

For time being, just truing to gather enough money for at least 12 items that I want to buy. And Mr Strelets continuous doing this spells on us - us dreaming more and more sets...:joy:

Re: Week-end is approaching

What a wonderful figures, again. I'm just sorry to see no Napoleonic French Fusiliers or centre companies :upside_down_face:

Re: Week-end is approaching

Me too!

Re: Week-end is approaching

Same here!
Some 1813-1815 French line Fusiliers in march attack, advance, firing etc, (with bayonets attached!!), would be very helpful!! Some wearing an overcoat & some not maybe?

Even better.....would be each set made in such a way, that all 6 companies of a line battalion were represented in a box. So the box ratio set out so that there is 4 centre (fusilier) companies & 1 voltigeur company & 1 grenadier company.

That way, no matter how many boxes someone buys, the correct ratio is always there to make a proper battalion.

Re: Week-end is approaching

That's the stuff dreams are made of. I second that emotion, but would settle for a few boxes(in combat, attack, marching and shoulder arms) in greatcoat and regular uniform of fusiliers only. I can add the flanking companies already bought to complete the picture in the proper ratio.
