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.
Thanks for the compliment on the blog. It is sometimes an odd thing, blogging, you write a post and even when you see the hit counter tick up you do wonder if anyone is paying attention.
The pikemen would make good standard bearers if you were short. I normally just stick the flag poles in the ground as in the early days I didn't have enough and the poses I had weren't conducive to the conversion.
I have another batch on the desk to paint. These will be French. I spent Sunday morning substituting the pikes with broom bristles, and only succeeded in drilling the end of my thumb twice. The broom bristles are great. They hold paint well and have just enough flex in them not to bend out of shape in mishandled.

Ah yes, I sympathise. My thumb and fingers have been accidentally 'drilled' on quite a lot of occasions. This hobby of ours is not without its dangers!
