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.
Hey as someone on the other side of the border and a fan of Napoleonics in North America aka War of 1812, I can heartily support Asher’s request. All the mentioned American units would be welcomed especially MacArthur’s Cav., which ravaged my neck of the woods. A militia package that would cover both US and Canadian forces would be welcomed. First Nations warriors played a critical role in many of this conflict’s battles and rarely get the recognition they deserve in preserving British/Canadian territory. They too deserve to be immortalized in plastic.
Would also be interested in figures for wars on the North American continent.....AWI, War of 1812 & maybe even some more ACW.
I'd still enjoy a little more G.A. Custer and American Indian Wars themed figures. There is nothing available in truly soft plastic and excellent matching blue colors quite like Strelets and Airfix. Cheers!
I think you’d be surprised Graham. The Indian Wars were full of heated combat. The Nez Perce, Little Big Horn, Modock, and Apache campaigns (just to name a few) are full of battles and skirmishes
Sorry Asher, think I may not have expressed myself very well there! Explored the far-west of the USA extensively and visited site of many battles -The Fetterman Fight, Little Big Horn, Big Hole, Wounded Knee, the Hayfield and other sites, plus visited ‘dead Indian Pass’. I love the history of the US Frontier.
What I MEANT to say was that the figures for that era in existence already tend to reflect Hollywood’s notions of what the combatants look like, and it would be nice to see some truly accurate sculpts of the US Cavalry, infantry and artillery/Gatling guns, plus of course some decent figures of the Native American/First Nations who participated.
