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.
Yes really nice figures not my era but I can see they are quality item. I think also they look a bit burlier than some of the ACW sets that have been released by Strelets recently some of them have been a little too slim for my taste with me being a bit of a pie eater myself.
I think the Confederates need many more blanket rolls on them, nice and thick so you can easily see them. Even 54mm scale has nice thick ones. Some backpacks with a small blanket roll on top would be nice, too. But the Confederate style around the body is best! All the famous paintings and movies have them. It's what makes the Confederates look so unique. In fact, it became so popular, the Americans in the Spanish-American War wore them the same way.
The Union Standing are spot on.
Really like the Turks, too.
Thanks for the previews Strelets.
P.S. PSR gave you (Strelets) a very fine review on your Union Cavalry Skirmishing. Congratulations! I'm really impressed with them, too.

The rolled blanket was worn by Union troops too, so not unique for CSA but perhaps they're mostly associated with them.
Not sure what to say, they seem to be in the same style as the other Union infantry sets, which I didn't like that much. They have the frock coat, when sack coat would be preferably but I guess since all Union infantry in the Strelets sets have frock coats it will just continue. Still I will buy some, some poses are nice.
I will be buying the Napoleonic standing sets but only one of each set, now if Strelets produced a firing line for each of the Napoleonic armies so far released I would buy at least two or three sets of each( don't tell the wife)
I believe that a lot of people on this site feel the same, do the maths Strelets & produce some firing lines please.
Also there was talk of producing more Napoleonic sets it would be good if you copied the same format as before making 3 armies at a time starting with the marching sets first, Austrian infantry in shako's Hanoverian infantry & French imperial guard would be my choices & all good sellers too I think.
Unless I am not up with the 'new' maths, I see several gaps in the current listing for Strelets*R, so our friends have many more wonderful surprises in store...!!
Yes, after watching the Fredericksburg scenes from "Gods and Generals" I definitely want some of those.
Easy to paint too, since both trousers and the coat are skyblue for Union, Confederates can be in tan and grey. Hope to see some masters soon, gonna buy a ton of them if they turn out good.
