Unusual to see someone sculpt an officer with a pistol in their hand -- it makes a nice change. |

Nice – I have already done my Poles but I suppose I could have a few more! |

How could you possibly think Tango01 would repeat what you have done. Bet you are wrong. There are many things I would still bet on…actually in 2016 maybe not. The only one surprise, of many, this year that I could mention here is Leicester City to win the Premier League….. I gather there were other "surprising" outcomes this year, but, offhand cannot recall…. |

Very nice indeed! I am glad to see that these don't have any over active poses. |

Yep Joker, the days of digging for moles, waving to mum and playing the musket-banjo are long gone. Plastic manufacturers seem to be squarely aiming at the wargaming/collecting market now (sadly, no toy market left for toy soldiers I fear). What is really interesting is how Strelets have improved the quality of their product – especially if they can release these to the standard promised by the masters. Previously, they have been a bit "Front Rank" – chunky lads who paint up well. But these figures are looking more like HaT's better offerings, or even Zvezda. So I am truly hoping that they deliver.

One can always hope. While they have improved, there still seems to be a disconnect between the sculpts and the molds. I consistently fall in love with Strelets masters, only to be bitterly disappointed by the end result. I will say that once cleaned off of the horrible sprues, I find they look much better in person and en masse. |

Great find, Marc. I like the officer w/ pistol. Always wanted to do some Poles. |
