Re: Friday Mail

Thank you for the update, and very pleased to hear everyone is relatively safe and well. The Jap with entrenching tool I really do not like, if being used as a weapon as the pose suggests , why have a rifle, why not bayonet fixed , the entrenching tool is a desperate close quarters weapon and that desperation is not reflected in the pose, at least we can remove the base and he becomes a casualty .

Re: Friday Mail

I thought of the guy with the shovel as someone to signal his comrades in the distance...

Beautiful figures indeed!

I'm so glad that the teams around our producers are safe and some of them far away from imminent danger. Meanwhile, I have been reading up some more on the history of the area...it is fascinating.

We should all listen more to people like Count Leo Tolstoy, in matters of war. I'm glad to have him as a Strelets figure. A warrior for peace. A true hero.

The culture of both Ukraine and Russia is rich and varied. It is a great shame that the 'small pale old man' in the Kremlin is doing so much to diminish the historical and cultural reputation and heritage of Mother Russia.

But I do feel that we will all be taking more notice of the culture and heritage of the Ukraine in the future, and admiring every aspect of it. A truly historic and heroic people and nation!

Re: Friday Mail

Dearest Strelets Team,

Post Cards From Ukraine - Your message is absolutely the best news I could read under these circumstances. For you to post your messages to all of us here on Fridays is "Victory" each week. I think we have very good news coverage and Pres. Zelenskyy's speeches are eloquent and to the heart. I feel he is an amazing leader. I hope there are many more plans behind the scenes that N A T O will come together on immediately to help.

And thank you also for posting the Eye Candy. Through all this and you still never forget your kindness to bring us all together in our common pleasure.

You are all super human.

Faithfully yours

Re: Friday Mail

Nice soldiers, but still more an impressive sign of life in bad times.
Thanks a lot for it. Let us hope that peace will soon return.
Stay safe..... and F**K the little, pale man in Kremlin!

Re: Friday Mail

What do we have here? Some early pacific war Americans and Japanese? Perhaps for the Philippines, wake island, or Guam maybe. A little bit past my time period but some fantastic troops nonetheless! I especially like the Americans. As always though, it’s great to hear from you again as always Strelets, and I’m glad everyone is staying safe👍🏼 Also I hear ya Minuteman. Perhaps next week is our week.

Thanks for the Update and a Question?

Wonderful sets, I hope they are able to enter production that I may buy them some day.

My wife let me buy over 30 sets of Strelets figures and they were just delivered a couple days ago all the way from Hannants in the UK to rural Kentucky, USA. Just a small way to show my support for Ukraine and Strelets in particular.

What are some good places to donate money that can help the brave people of Ukraine to achieve victory in this present war?

Thank you for the continued communication and may God bless you all.

Re: Thanks for the Update and a Question?

Hi Mike,

I have been thinking about that very subject as we all have varied periods of interest, perhaps Strelets could do a couple of generic terrain sets i.e boxes barrels and barricades one for earlier periods that could be used by all of us.

This would allow us to show our support and they could also do a more more modern set that could cover later periods.

If anyone has any other ideas as it might be a quick way for us to help strelets raise funds quickly, please post them here . I am sure generic boxes, barrels would be no problem for strelets sculpting team.They could also ship them in a simplified packaging to reduce costs

My heart goes out for everyone affected and I would recommend using charities that are well known and in the uk our government will add to you donation by the gift aid promise.

In Scotland one of our football teams, (Hibernian FC) sponsored a large group of children from an orphanage to come to Scotland, so hopefully the little ones will get some peace. so well done to the hibees

Stay calm and safe everyone

If you want to help, then the Red Cross DEC have a Ukraine fund you can donate to. They are the experts at getting what is needed to the populace in war zones. Just Google it.
