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.
Thats some serious metal on the ends of those firearms Paul!!! Well done on having the patience to try and correct the issue.
Mark is correct. These guys aren't quite right for portraying either one of the light battalions or a flank company of light infantry.
The light battalions had a "stovepipe" type of shako, not the Belgic shako. Both the light battalions & light companys also had flank shoulder rolls rather than tufts & they also had green plumes/cords on their shakos.
But nontheless, these men have been very nicely painted, so again well done with your efforts.
Re: British Firing Line contribution ( They don't like it up em )
Thank you Chaps, for your kind words of praise and constructive criticism. The bayonets are indeed too big. I did try to trim them after I had stuck them on, unfortunately to little effect. I enjoyed painting these figures, well most of them anyway. I particularly liked the casualties as I don't think there are enough in the hobby. The word impression was used a couple of times and that's exactly what I was trying to achieve. Unfortunately I shall have to wait till Strelets produce a number of figures in the kneeling position before I would try for any accuracy. I did dig out some Airfix soldiers doing just that but the painting was so poor and they looked incompatible with the new set. Not being a wargamer or an amateur historian I just tend to follow the box art.
Many thanks
Paul
