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.
Perhaps Valdemar should do some individual personality figures of famous ancient commanders???
I'd certainly be interested in buying them, even at quality prices.
For the Standard Bearer in Sports type mask I painted the face silver. As to musicians I also use the Italeri Cornicern, as j musician I think it dosen't matter that he wears mail since the Standard Bearers and the Centurions also wear mail. Also don't forget the Italeri mounted Julius Ceasar figure as depicting a General for this period. I also like the foot officer holding helmet in the Esci/Italeri Romans although admittedly this figure looks a lot like the Tribune in the Osprey book dealing with the Carthaginian wars.
Best regards,
Malcolm

Replying to:
Roman Officers/specialists well covered in previous sets.. i disagree a bit, there are already some good standard-bearer and centurio poses.. But i still miss:
- Standard bearer with mask-helmet (one with the types of sport cavalry helmets)
- MUSICIANS: there is only this tubican from Hat and one generic figure in which you can put a cornicen.. BUT NO DECENT CORNICEN FOR THE IMPERIAL PERIOD
-MORE HIGH ROMAN OFFICERS_ we have only a pair from Revell and hat (punic!). Cavalry officers and specialist as well missing.
Let´s see what is coming with Alanger and Zvezda legionaries
