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 Strelets Bashi Bazouks have very good detail, so much detail on so small an object that my 64 year old eyeballs can't differentiate one area from another. Has anybody painted these figures and can they post them or refer me to some good reference photos.
Being in my late 50s I sympathise!!Though I'm not sure how to post live links...
There are some lead figures painted here :
