Re: Христос Воскресе!

I thought it was the other way around, British had Busbys and French etc used Colpacks? Maybe not. Think some Prussian squadrons of Uhlans might of worn one of these styles too? Like von Shill or Hellwig?
That early "busby" that was more narrow had another name which escapes me. Want to say Mirliton but not sure. Its on the Hat Prussian 1806 Hussars box artwork anyway. Tall and thin thing.

But I do think hes either a elite hussar trooper or Imperial Guard Chasseur a Cheval.

Happy Orthodox Easter !!

The number of new sculpts we have been seeing in recent days is quite amazing. The team must be working hard there at Strelets.

I'd say that a set each of French Imperial Guard Lancers and Guard Chasseurs (each 'at rest' or 'in reserve') are amongst the sets that Strelets will be treating us to in the next 6 months.

My greatest interest amongst these Napoleonic cavalry is the Russian hussars however: I have a project that they will fit into very well, so a release date would be helpful.

Re: Христос Воскресе!

Happy Easter to you too! Man Louis XIV's armies sure were stylish, we need to work that back into today's armed forces somehow.

Re: Христос Воскресе!

Wishing very happy Easter festivities to the Strelets team, their families and of course all readers celebrating this weekend. :relaxed:

Thanks for continously spoiling us with your beautiful figures.
Although it may sometimes not be expressed clearly enough here, your work is certainly widely appreciated. :+1:

Looking forward to nearly all your upcoming releases.
Take care & my best wishes for these turbulent times.

That just might be the most impressive 1/72 scale plastic moustache ever. :relaxed:

Re: Христос Воскресе!

Blessings on Easter! Some beautiful figures. I, for one, love the "At Ease" cavalry figures and will use them in my scenarios; I have plenty of wildly charging cavalrymen (not saying I won't snatch up any new sets you might release in this new style) - the more relaxed poses are useful for standing watch, waiting to go in, or merely guarding a flank. Great stuff.

Re: Христос Воскресе!

ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ!!!
...as we Greeks Orthodox say for all our brothers, Orthodox, Protestants, Catholics, even Jews or Islamists!!! Islamists believe Jesus as a great prophet, Jews are not sure about it, but we love all of you!!! (Or I believe we should feel this way...)
And if our hobby is a little warlike, it's only a hobby.
I am sure, all of us, we believe in peace and in brotherhood (and sisterhood) of mankind...

Re: Христос Воскресе!
