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.
The WWI figures are very nice but I do hope they are a long way behind the lines.
I wonder if it might be some German persons Granddad caring for a refugee? :wink:
If that's a full basket hilt sword I might be able to use the figure. if it's a half basket I might be able to turn it into a full basket, I'll be watching for developments.
You are quick off the mark this morning Mr Strelets more great sets I like the Italian a lot hoping there will be a few WW2 Italian sets later in the year.:wink:
The soldier feeding the child is a very thought provoking pose.
Most certainly a pose far behind front lines, as I can't imagine a child getting anywhere close to the trenches......apart from those teens who lied about their age and became soldiers themselves.
Maybe a refugee in a urban setting, with conflict taking place on the outskirts of town etc.
Really nice pose anyway.
The feathers are fun to paint and look good, but there are probably too many on Italians in 1/72, a guy in a big wig...again, and a German soldier feeding a child, clearing that one has got others thinking too, what scenario ??...well just behind the front would be Belgium and France, and by wars end small local children would accept the Germans as just part of everyday life maybe, but for most in occupied area`s they were the enemy, this sort of thing must of happened for sure. Not a pose I would have wanted or expected, but I do like it.
Mr. Strelets, A wonderful set of Dutch Cuirassiers! The trumpeter in today's post does not match any of them. May we have a hint as to which set it will be a part of?

And indeed when we can expect to see all these WoSS cavalry sets? I believe that, conservatively, there are quite a lot of them in the pipeline: two French Maison du Roi (Gardes du Corps and Musketeers), two French dragoons (in attack and on-the-march), two different sets of British Horse and Dragoons; Austrian cuirassiers and Dutch cuirassiers. And another set of French 'late war' dragoons. That is at least 9 sets.
Totally agree! I want those Maison du Roi !!!!!
And while we're at it: Could you put two bonus figures into some of the next sets: a drummer and a standard bearer for the dismounted WSS French dragoons?
For time being, just truing to gather enough money for at least 12 items that I want to buy. And Mr Strelets continuous doing this spells on us - us dreaming more and more sets...:joy:
Same here!
Some 1813-1815 French line Fusiliers in march attack, advance, firing etc, (with bayonets attached!!), would be very helpful!! Some wearing an overcoat & some not maybe?
Even better.....would be each set made in such a way, that all 6 companies of a line battalion were represented in a box. So the box ratio set out so that there is 4 centre (fusilier) companies & 1 voltigeur company & 1 grenadier company.
That way, no matter how many boxes someone buys, the correct ratio is always there to make a proper battalion.
That's the stuff dreams are made of. I second that emotion, but would settle for a few boxes(in combat, attack, marching and shoulder arms) in greatcoat and regular uniform of fusiliers only. I can add the flanking companies already bought to complete the picture in the proper ratio.
