They have some great new or future releases, but I built some of those units from scratch 10-15yrs ago, and I`m not throwing away perfectly good figures just to spend money :) |

They look quite good, and to my eye are well equipped for an early-war FFL force (1940 through maybe early 1943). And some of them could also fit into a more ecclectic mixed formation for Free French forces from 1942-1945. Unhappily for me, they are not in my scale. But I might some day branch out, and 20mm – 1/72 – 1/76 is the most likely scale for me to expand into if I do. So … what do y'all think of Strelets figures in general? Are they robust? Do they take paints well? -Mark

These are looking great. Lots of LMGs means – 3 out of 13 poses not counting specialists. Funny. In the past manufacturers often didn't provide enough LMG poses! Now they provide a surfeit. At least is gives us a choice. |

So … what do y'all think of Strelets figures in general? Are they robust? Do they take paints well? In my experience They are both robust and take paint well. Some don´t like the chunky style of sculpting with the older sets, I personally find it ok but they have improved lately and they have taken the field as (at the Moment) being the leading manufacturer in Terms of Output. Also, generally, when they start a range they go for it. At ease, marching, in battle sets, example thier ancient Romans and ACW ranges. They do have a tendency to re-use the same horse sculpts for a wide range of periods and they tend to be a bit crudely sculpted and on the "oddly posed" side of Things but IMHO, fit for purpose. |

Agree with Pauls… one of the best in plastic 1/72….

Not having first hand experience with this line are they "soft" plastic like the old Airfix or hard plastic? |

"soft" like Airfix as in similar to the same type of plastic..described at PSR for both manufactureres as "medium consistency". Not soft as the HäT rubbery type of plastic used in some of thier latest sets but not as hard as their earlier sets. |
