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.
I agree, Ironsides. No way this film (or most others) would be a source of history. In fact, there were lawsuits over historical misrepresentations -- among other things, the way that Allenby was portrayed in his relationship to Lawrence and what he said at the funeral -- completely off base.
Simply making the point that perhaps Strelets got the idea of the Vickers from the film -- never mind that Lawrence wrote that they used Lewis guns! Further, Robert Bolt was never one to let historical fact get in the way of a good story. Witness his portrayal of Thomas More in *A Man for All Seasons*, which goes against most contemporary and later descriptions of the man and his temperament. But another great screenplay and great film.
Ironically, as a young chap when I began to play "Lawrence" with my friends after seeing the movie, I built a machine gun of wood (most of my toys were homemade of wood) that bore little resemblance to a Vickers or a Lewis. In fact, what I tried to imitate was a U.S. M1919 A4 .30 calibre, which is the only machine gun I had ever seen up close at that age -- when watching the local infantry battalion of the Mexican army on parade for the 16th of September. They mounted them in the back of Dodge Power Wagons, with belts of ammunition draped impressively all over the place.
Circling back to the topic of this thread: Hard to see why most or all of the figures in an "ambush" set are not prone. Of course, again I'm going back to the movie for my information! I guess a lot of these figures are for the advance on the train and the looting, although they seem a little static for that.
Perhaps Strelets assume that many of us have plenty of figures from the venerable set of Bedouin made by another manufacturer (for decades the ONLY Bedouin set) in which the vast majority -- 10 out of the 16 dismounted figures -- are either prone or kneeling. Then there are those six men running and waving a rifle -- a fairly useless pose with a ridiculously small base to boot.
In any event, Strelets have provided us with copious numbers of figures in other sets that can also take part in ambushes! The Arabs in Skirmish M142 set comes readily to mind.
Ha! Just noticed that the proposed box for the Ambush set says "Rif War". Now THAT's absurd!:smile:
No argument there :wink:
