Have a nice week-end, gentlemen!

more images of a set under design.



Best regards,

Very good, the standard bearer is particularly good, cover on the colours a first I think.

Stripes moulded on the sergeant too!

Glorious viewing over Saturday morning brekkie. Thank you Yuri and all at Strelets!

No doubt the pack fasteners and single strap that James (Picton) noted last week are part of the 'under construction' element—or 're-construction' in this case?

Best regards, James

While I don't do Napoleonics, as such, I actually seem to have hundreds of them for some reason, these figures look very nice.

In any case, thanks for the update.

These sculpts once again look great. They will be right at home with the rest of the Napoleonic range. Does anybody know if these are light infantry or something other than the line? Because I know Strelets already has a set of British infantry on the march. Unless they just wanted to update the set to match the sculpting style primarily used, I feel like these must be something different than standard line.

As I typed this I also realized they were stovepipes and not Belgian shakos so that right there is already a difference!

They look lovely, well done Strelets!

Light infantry that can also be used as line infantry in Spain, although they do look quite smart for that theatre of war. However, a cunny paint job (intentionally sloppy) can remedy that.:grinning:

Dear Asher,

Light infantry, as indicated by the hunting horn badge on the stovepipe shako and the 'wings' of their shoulder straps.

As Thomas has said, they could be used as light cos of line regiments pre adoption of the belgic shako. [By regulations 1812, but received/adopted sometime between 1812–14, although the 28th (only?), someone will correct this if incorrect, wore the stovepipe at Waterloo.] Just requires a bit of blurring of the hunting horn badge. Grenadier companies in stovepipe too. A bit of knife work and they could serve as centre companies in stovepipe, if desired.

The British light infantry regiments have not been done often, or particularly well, so these will be a really useful, as well as good looking, addition to the scale.

We'll have to keep waiting for some more Austrian 'German' infantry in shako and be-spoke US infantry of 1812–14 :grinning: .

Regards, James

Thank you for the very informative answer James. It was very helpful. And I will be waiting right there with you for those 1812 Americans. Have always wanted to build an American Napoleonic army for wargaming!
