Re: French, Turks and Sardinians in the Crimean war
It would be great to see some of those units done in plastic. I suppose the Sardinians would also work for Italian Independence - perhaps Solferino - so 1 set covers multiple campaigns, which must make good business sense.

Hi Jon,
oh yes, they would be very useful for 1859 as are the French line. French cavalry would be another excellent addition to both ranges.
The Waterloo Austrians are not really good so another set of Austrians as a "what if" scenario Austrians against Russians would be an idea. It was close to a fight there.
Hi Scott,as previously mentioned these figures would do ,HOWEVER the hats which are the main feature do not hold paint very well for me.They end up looking like london businessmens bowler hats.far too much cut back of plastic on the headwear.
I threw 4 boxes away.
Thanks, Hank. That's too bad that they didn't work out. I hope that Strelets completes this range. The Crimea has become one of my favorite subject areas.
Hi Uwe, spray paint base coat would not adhere to the figures detail thick enough.Left it opaque and uneven.Hat brims are far too small(miniscule) in any case. I admit i got very impatient with them.
