"Bavaria was one of the strongest of the numerous German states in the early 19th century, and had traditionally been an ally of Catholic France for many years previously. Initially bound to support Austria thanks to being a part of the Holy Roman Empire, when it became possible, Bavaria sided with France and prospered as a result during the years that France was so dominant in Europe. During those years Bavarian troops fought with France in places as far apart as Italy and Russia, but at times the fighting was on Bavarian soil itself. As the title suggests these are not fighting miniatures, but men at ease inasmuch as they are all standing (rather than at leisure) but clearly not at attention. For some it is battle poses that they require, but we have really enjoyed the many ‘at ease' or ‘before battle' sets Strelets have done over the years, and this one is as good as any. As well as men just in relaxed mode we find some holding or drinking from a water container and one man puffing away on his pipe. All the poses nicely capture the look of men waiting for something to happen, be it battle or just moving off, simply chatting, fiddling with equipment or whatever. The officers might have a bit more purpose about them, but could just as easily be in conversation with each other…"

Me too Tango. The sculpting in these new Strelets sets is getting better and better. 1/72 has always had many varied poses, but usually too varied (no theme to the poses). The Strelets poses are still varied but within a theme. For me these sets are excellent. Anatomically correct and well thought out poses. |
