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.
.... Wearing the cuirass under the coat did always strike me as somewhat impractical. It doesn't offer any additional protection and only risks the coat getting cut to pieces. So it might have been better to produce some more generic cuirassiers. That said I'm still tempted to buy at least one box, if only for the lovely sculpts.
Actually it is practical, as the coat (having worn one once, I can tell you they are incredibly heavy), can be removed in hot weather without taking off the armor. If this was ever done during the period I have no idea, it just seems sensible to me.
Thank you for a sight of these beautiful figures. This range is fast becoming one of the out standing 1/72nd collections. I look forward to having some of them in our WSS armies later this year.
Any chance of a set of Grenadiers wearing the bearskin, for the armies of the Empire, Bavaria, France, Savoy etc ?
Nice figures as usual, but honestly for me it is all about the artillery at this point. Some howitzers and mortars to fully enable some siege scenarios would be 100% ideal.
