Re: The Strelets Jacobite sets 1&2 - sprue observations

I'm pretty sure its redbox. Although I like the poses, the sculpting wasn't so impressive at first look. So I zoomed on this pictures a bit and after second look at them, I think these figures aren't that bad at all...OK some strange firing poses in set 1 and some figures looking better than others, but the set 2 is becoming more and more appealing...I hope we are going to see some opponents fot them.

PS

Would some of these work for the F&IW?

Re: The Strelets Jacobite sets 1&2 - another 2pworth

Dear all
The poses seem to come in the main from Osprey's Highland Clansmen including the Penicuik artist's work in black and white - not a bad thing on the whole.
The figures look well posed but if the flash is like some from the companies I have mentioned then this will be a backward step for Strelets. If nicely sculpted figures come out looking like a Medardo Rosso* impressionist sculpture then that seems a shame when the technical side should not be a problem. I don't know what the arguments are for not having runners the size of Strelets "tree trunks" but if they work well why change them?

*Medardo Rosso - I admire his sculpture but not for 1/72nd scale figures see:
