Looks like a personal coffee cup. Are you sure you backed the right KS?

Received in the post today, a box each of Zvezda Swedish Dragoons and Swedish Artillery, tricorn Charles X11 period. Apart from a bit a glueing necessary for the artillery guns and some arms (for some reason), I'm very impressed. Beige hard plastic, swords only just a bit bendy, and very detailed figures. The horses are moulded onto the bases, 5 (yes, 5) guns and a small wagon, and 15 mounted dragoons & 3 on foot. They do look the dogs parts I have to say. Nice art work on the boxes too. The blurb says 1/72 and figures 24mm high, so they might be quite large compared to the Strelets French foot, but I'm sure they'll go along nicely.

I know Paul had said they were big and dont match up with the new Strelets boxes. I gave my one test box of Strelets to EB as I went off the idea. Should have gone with Zvesda.

Are you painting them as Imagies?

Should've mentioned, EB very kindly supplied me with metal flag bearers, and your box if Strelets. They'll be imagish, I think. Having looked, the Strelets claim to be 24mm too, do they won't stand out too much anyway. Might just paint them as the box art. Or not. 🙂

Nah, got them for next to nothing from a mate. About a fifth of the EBay price. Think was just glad to see them go to a good home
