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.
Oh, does this perhaps indicate a sporadic return of the "Announcement Fridays"? :slightly_smiling_face:
It would of course be great if Strelets could keep up production despite the difficult circumstances, even if only at a reduced rate?
Habsburg Infantry of the War of Spanish Succession if I'm not mistaken.
With English/British forces again being over-represented, I would be thrilled to see further coverage of French, Habsburg and other belligerents of this period.
However, great to see that despite all adverse trends, some good things seem to go on. :wink: :+1:
Best regards and Slava Ukraini
Thank you Strelets! I saved long ago the release of the masters photo that nearly all here speculated were Austrians fighting but never until now - with your box cover release today - did any confirmation ever come out. Now WSS Austrians attacking are coming too along with Austrians marching. (Hannants has listed the Marching WSS Austrians as coming in their ‘Future Release’ files). If I’m in error of any of this please correct me.
Bravo! And double Bravo and thanks for cleaning out the spam postings.
The best kind of Fridays ever! Everyone back together. Outstanding Box Art! I myself have been building up my British Highlanders and Nappy British in Squares little by little. Such great figures; so many wonderful poses for all circumstances.
You made my weekend, Strelets. "VIP to Ukraine" (Victory, Independence & Peace!)
Beautiful box art! I think I know exactly what set this is for as well. Thank you so much Strelets. No matter how long production could take even this is a wonderful surprise. I think I might have to use such a set as French rather than Austrians to counter the British in attack set. One of the many perks of this era in my opinion is the ability to convert an armies nationality with a simple paint job. So far I’ve seen the box of Early War French Fusiliers act as French, Spanish, Austrians, and Bavarians!
That is definitely 1 of the best out works that I have seen. What a pleasant surprise. I am excited and very much looking forward to holding the final product in my hands, even if it may take a while. Thank you for this Strelets!!! you are the best.
Brilliant to see Anton Batov's artwork (I assume) and more evidence of a peaceful and productive collaboration in crazy times of war and destruction. It will be a wonder and a joy if these Austrians can be brought to fruition.
How ironic that our non-violent hobby, based around conflicts of old, should be so affected by real-life, current conflicts affecting lives, production, trade and squandering needed resources...
