Just a quick shout-out to Dave Keen's PSR and in particular his latest figure-set review . . . Strelets*R started life at the end of the 1990's along with several other eastern European brandings, producing interesting or esoteric figure sets we'd all dreamed of, but in often quite crude, 'metal figure' or a 'home-made from Plasticine' chubby kind of styling, But these days their output can be far more professional and as good as anything from Airfix, Esci or Revell/Italeri/Zvezda, and this set is a perfect example of that, I particularly like the horses . . .

And Dave's reviews are always a well-researched, fair-minded, interesting read!
PSR is a superb and free online resource. I don't always have the same opinion as the author on his reviews of sets, but it's good to have different views anyhow. And YES, Strelets have improved tremendously.
ReplyDeleteCheers John! I met Dave before I knew of his website (very nice afternoon tea at Andy Harfield's many years ago!) and he's a really nice, unpretentious chap, with a real passion for the subject! And the effort he's put into that site is vast . . .
