Re: Nice Week-End Everyone!

Hi Alan

I might be wrong, as I can't see the middle figure's shako head on, but thought the shako badge had a sunburst typical of the Polish Vistula legion, and the shako itself looks more like the squared off czapka worn by the Poles.

Something to look forward too, whoever he is.

Re: Nice Week-End Everyone!

Dear Strelets,

What a wonderful lot of Revolutionary/Napoleonic delights!

If I recall correctly, your now defunct website used to say something along the lines 'our focus is on periods, figures and poses not done elsewhere' (much licence taken with the wording there). You are remaining true to this 'primary directive' with these beauties!

Excellent early French, Albanian/Greeks and Poles [I don't think that it is the sunburst badge on the czapka Danny, but detail of the small plate with regimental no—I can make out the eagle above it, I think), with a myriad of uses and potential for conversion with just these few exemplars. The firing/loading/at the ready poses are extremely useful.

Thanks so much and best wishes, James

Hi James

Wearing my glasses now I stand corrected.

He is a splendid fellow regardless, and im sure will find many a new home.

Cheers

Re: Nice Week-End Everyone!

Dear Danny,

Full 'transparency'; me too. I thought that it looked like a sunburst plate, at first glance, but the headdress looks like a czapka, which was a bit strange. Then I recalled (and double-checked my memory) that the grenadier cos that may have worn the czapka for a brief period. The lack of epaulettes was the 'problem'. So I too zoomed in and had a proper look...

As you said, he's a beaut sculpt and a firing line will complement beautifully Strelets' previous marching and attacking Poles.

Best wishes, James

Re: Nice Week-End Everyone!

Awesome masters! I definitely hope that last figure is a Greek or Albanian as others have pointed out. The new French are looking worlds better than the old Egyptian sets though

Over time, I developed a simple approach: test, compare, and trust your instincts jewel boom super drop slot machine 2026. If something feels off, it probably is. The best UK game sites I’ve used are the ones that keep everything straightforward. No hidden surprises, no unnecessary complexity. I also appreciate when guides explain things in a human way, not like a manual. It makes the whole process much easier.
