Strelets news 2020 - 2024

[Erich von Manstein]

WSS Austrian / Bavarian Cuirassiers
Strelets revealed further figures for a second set of WSS Cuirassiers.

[Beano Boy]

Now that's a firing line worthy of Napoleonic Painting!
Although as for myself i just used the basic colours in toy soldier style. BB

[Susofrick]

The differences between the soldiers of various powers in the WSS are a bit subtle...

Much of the 18th century IMHO. Been thinking about using some of the WSS-range for the GNW, but felt that I can't start another era. Some can probably end up in AWI too. The trick, I think, is the tricorne.

[Erich von Manstein]

An additional & well-done set of this useful troop type has now been fully revealed, this time Bavarians.
258 - WSS Bavarian Cuirassiers

Wow, all these cuirassiers and the new firing line - Bavarian or French, or Danish or Dutch or... are just perfect to complete the WSS range.
Now the cherry on the top would be some final additions like:
- original Hussars (not so fancy yet, but already with Hungarian or Croat traditional fashion)
- a siege set, howisters or heavy guns
- camp followers and bagage train. They are also pretty universal for this period
- a camp life set just as set n°1
If you then add some personality figuees (OK, we have already many in the cavalry sets) it would be just too much.

Great ideas MIchael!

Nap. British / KGL Infantry in defence?

[Erich von Manstein]

A wonderful sign of life from Strelets.
WSS Infantry:

[Susofrick]

We can only hope that they will come out of this alright. And that their sculptor for the WSS-range survive since he joined the National Guard. Great figures!

[Bessiere]

I'm hearing all men of fighting age are being conscripted. It doesn't mean they will get involved necessarily and often common sense prevails among them in particular. They aren't looking to be heroes but just get through this with their lives and family intact. What we don't need is the rest of the world stirring the pot and preventing some kind of settlement to the conflict.

[Bessiere]

Those are some wonderfully animated poses. I wish all sets had so much vitality in their posing.

WSS Infantry:

Those look absolutely wonderful. We've got to get this genius back to his sculpting table!

[Erich von Manstein]

Nap. KGL / British Infantry again ...

[Bluefalchion]

Could the Friday update be a positive sign for the company?

[Misteredd]

Any sign of some kind of well beeing is heartily welcome.

[Paboook]

I am afraid our hobby will bet hit by the current war a lot.

This is of course nothing in comparison to the suffering of Ukranian people...

I know V&V miniatures (in Poltava) are still open for business. I have no idea about any 1:72 companies unfortunately.

Miniart, RedBox/Orion, Strelets, UM, Roden, Masterbox, ACE, ICM, MikroMir, Armory, ClearProp, Dorawings, all Ukrainian. Probably forgot a few, but these are the most prominent ones I have models from. All make high quality kits, and make up approx. 70% of my stash. Any one of them would be a huge loss, and I can only hope that the people who make my life at least slightly bearable will make it out alive and continue to bring joy to millions of modelers worldwide.

[Erich von Manstein]

Despite the current circumstances, Strelets team keeps posting new figures every week.

WWII Japanese Infantry (in combat?)



WWII US Infantry (early Pacific campaign?) or WWII Commonwealth Infantry (New Zealanders in combat?)

[Misteredd]

I am undecided weather those are Americans or New Zealanders. That hat ? Is it a lemon squeezer or not?

[Susofrick]

That Japanese handgreante reminds me of Spirou in Bretzelburg.
