Re: FANTASTIC WORK

Dear Joe,

thank you very much for your message.
Wouldn't it be more appropriate for a company like, say, HaT or IMEX to make ACW sets?
Quite honestly, this theme is way out of our personal preferences.
Best regards,

Strelets-R

Re: Re: FANTASTIC WORK

Strelets,

You offer so much character in your figures that I'd hate to see more boring wargame poses. Please make ACW and AWI. Your sculpting and design make the figures come alive.

Re: Re: Re: FANTASTIC WORK

The super S*R Team started it, now they have to finish it!

Scott is absolutely correct in his positive comments. The S*R Team offers:

* Lively poses
* Complete sets of different poses (+/-45 per box)
* Casualty and banner poses
* Complete famous Staffs companion sets
* Soft yet posable plastic
* Realistic and appropriate colors
* Full-bodies figures (no starving toothpick figures)
* Some of the best ever head, face, and hat/helmet details (Crimean sets set the standard for me)

The Conte Co. has successfully provided 54mm collectors with the above. Strelets*R is doing the same for 1/72. This is the new Golden Age and S*R's time to shine in the spot-light with it's unique format for success. Customers have contributed so many excellent suggestions for ACW on this forum and are asking for them. With 16 new sets each year, I am going to keep encouraging the S*R Team to produce some companion sets, starting with Infantry first. My dream are for some beautiful Confederates with big blanket rolls, stetson hats, as in the famous pictures.

You started it S*R Team, and got us hooked on your ACW Staff sets, now please give us some companion sets ... No excuses! :-)

Re: Re: FANTASTIC WORK

Please, give the customer what he wants. Which is more ACW figure sets. And French and Indian war also.

Re: Re: Re: FANTASTIC WORK

No, don't do AWI/ACW keep on with the less common stuff where no one else will go, I especially like the idea of Jacobites as individuality is important as they are irregular. I can make their British opponents from other figures that are already available.

BTW I did appreciate the ACW generals because this was a real gap in the market.

Re: FANTASTIC WORK

Just got my hands on the Strelets medieval life set (the big one). I have to say it is outstanding and I would recommend anyone to get it if you've been holding off - superb set, full of character.

Re: Re: FANTASTIC WORK

Dear Matt,

we are glad that you liked our medieval set. We also hope that you will like our set of the army of Robert the Bruce. We intend to complete this Border Wars line in 2007 by another set.

Best regards,

Strelets-R

Re: Re: Re: FANTASTIC WORK

The Robert the Bruce set is on order as we speak, along with Alex Nevsky! Can't wait to add them to my Strelet's collection and I'm delighted to hear of another set too

Thanks again, Matt
