They look like they are on the small side of 1/72, but we'll get an officer doing a jig! That's always something!

[pipers]

And when union artillery?

231 - WSS British Infantry in attack 1701-1714

[Jesse]

Outstanding! The British attack at Ramillies 1706 can now be staged with style in our favourite scale. Bring on the French!!!

[marc zijp]

They bring on the French sooner than expected.

Further great looking WWS masters.

[Mai Strac]

French soldiers?

Hurrah!! more recuits for my Imagi-Nation

[steve_pickstock]

These figures really are something else. Bags of style, excellent natural poses, the sculptor has excelled themselves.

I hope they do cavalry to match these. I have some Zvezda GNW cavalry but the horses look like nags.

Boer infantry.

Boers are not my period/speciality, but I think it’s a good set too.

[marc zijp]

Even more: if Pegasus or Zvezda had made a set like this, in my opinion the best 1/72 plastic soldier companies we’ve ever had, it would have looked like this.
I especially like those stooped advancing poses. It’s a delight to see such skirmishers.

[Erich von Manstein]

Although my interest in colonial imperialism is comparatively limited, these are terrific looking figures. Excellent skirmishing poses, indeed.

249 - ACW Confederates Firing

[Bluefalchion]

Good looking figs. Say, could the Boers be used as Confederates and vice versa? I suppose the rifles of the Boers are too modern...

[Graeme]

At least one of the guys on the Strelets forum is looking at those Boers for use as confederates. I think they'd work very well if you trimmed off the bolt and any bits of the rifle that really don't look like a musket. Then, if the nit-pickers take a holiday, why not?

I can't help thinking that with a bit of conversion that guy in the top hat would make an excellent Wild West 'Snake Oil' seller.

[Bluefalchion]

Nit pickers never take a holiday. It is one of the reasons they are nit pickers.

I like the snake oil idea...

[Paul]

Confederate firing line..sigh..more Money to give out. Their ACW and now thier silk wars range..they will put me in the poor house!
