"Strelets British Infantry on the March" Topic

The review to this set is up now on PSR: link

The sculpting isnīt quite in the class of Zvezda or HaT, but Strelets has really improved over the last year or so.

They certainly have improved. I'm hoping they revisit the old sets like the GNW figures they have and update them with better/more useful poses and this new standard of sculpting.

Amen to that!

This really is a great time with Strelets losing their chunky style and the likes of Red Box producing decent sets. Amazing!

Red Box is definitely another that has done very well of late. They have some nice tricorne figures though a bit later than WSS/GNW. I'm all for them. Now can someone please release some cavalry for the period!?

Now John, letīs not get greedy!

LOL

With that many figures the box should really have two standard bearers so you can get one battalion from it.

A BIG +1 to ColCampbell. These manufacturers seem to go to great lengths to produce historically accurate uniforms so you would think they would go to the same trouble to produce two flag bearers within each command for their British Nap. sets! At least most include a color sergeant who can be converted.

Worse – they actually pay the factory to cut off the four command figures from each sprue (there are four identical sprues in the box, except only one remains intact with the command figures). So if you want extra command, but the HaeT box of British officers, or metal (I recommend SHQ/Kennington – newline are generally too small)

But I use 40 Brits to a "regiment" so I will convert an extra standard and lose 4 of the infantry – job done

These things can be overcome, I am just happy there are more and more quality figures to choose from. It has been a long time coming!
