How do Hagen ACW artillery compare for size with Strelets and other plastic figures?

Thanks to Strelets I have greatly increased the ranks of my American Civil War forces in recent times and have even recruited a number of Strelets Boers to boost their number.

I see on the Hagen-Miniatures website a selection of ACW artillery pieces and crew, listed as both 20mm and 1/72.

Does anyone have experience of how these compare for size with plastic 1/72 ACW figures?

Thanks

Hi,

I have the Hagen Artillery sets. The figures and canons are wonderful, but slightly bigger than Strelets - mostly 2mm. I can recommend a buy. The differences aren´t big.

Hagen has Boers and britsh colonial too, which are more different in their size to Strelets. It´s possible to combine them, but with some distance to the Strelets figures because you recognise the differences nearby.

Very helpful.

I used the Boers too! Does anyone know if Strelets will continue to add to their ACW line? I could think of a number of sets they could do....

A quick and easy one would be the 12 pdr cannons from the Crimean War French artillery set with the crew figures from the two existing ACW gun sets

I have used the excellent Hagen ACW artillery and crew for my Antietam project and very nice they are too.

Massimo, the sculptor is a genius.

The gunners are a bit fiddly to assemble but I used plasticine as a ‘ jig’.

They are slightly larger than Stretlets but fit in well .

Best wishes,

Chris
