box art, nicely done,
a refreshing change from the odd photo-shopped covers on some of Strelet's sets
Strelets continues its march to dominate the 20mm ACW space with yet another excellent set of superbly useful figures. Both the dioramist and the wargamer will enjoy this set of Confederate Infantry Skirmishing. These figures can be mixed with the other Strelets Confederate sets to produce a scene or unit that has no repeated figures; they can also be mixed with Union figures as there was a great deal of similarity in the uniforms. The sculpting has many dynamic poses, the figures are all realistically proportioned and are equipped in light order (no backpacks/bedrolls). The miniatures are cleanly cast in a light gray plastic that is reasonably stiff and which holds detail very well.
This kit was kindly provided for review by Michigan Toy Soldier Shop and is available to purchase either in their store or through their website
the back of the box, showing the prototype figures
a good selection of poses and only one Muscovite!
the contents of the box,
not sure why they need the ziplock bag but I find it useful when taking the figures off the sprue
inside the bag you will find one Command sprue and three sprues of infantry
Command sprue, side A
Command Sprue, side B
maybe I should call it "Casualty Sprue" there are a lot of guys down
infantry sprue, side A
the figures display a minimal amount of flash and deeply sculpted
folds and complex positions which should paint up very easily and look great
infantry sprue, side B,
again you can clearly see the depth of the sculpting and the crispness of the detail,
plus the musket barrels are nicely straight
I particularly liked this figure, the face is loaded with charater
which is quite remarkable considering that it is only a few millimeters across
you can almost imagine these fellows peeking around trees or peering over a fence
