For those of you who are interested the Rijksmuseum has posted the highest resolution picture of the Night Watch that has ever been taken. If you are interested in the detail of the picture you can literally drill down to see individual brushstrokes.

Wow John,
That is absolutely outstanding work. Especially in that scale you've done a beautiful job. The face is wonderful and incredibly realistic, as is the hair. And your treatment of the reds is fabulous. It's really inspiring and certainly gives me something to aim for. I find faces to...
These are wonderful!
I'm no expert on this, but I think that the buttons on the officer's tunic would be grouped in two's or three's if he were a senior commander such as Armistead. I've attached a photo of John Bell Hood's uniform as an example. Also, Armistead was both bald and bearded so...
What a lovely sculpt! Congratulations on this. I'll keep an eye on the MF site for when its released.
BTW is it just me, or is the face a little reminiscent of the football player, George Best? ;)

Very sad indeed. Although here in the USA I have also found both George Grasse at Histomin, and Gray Creager at Colorado Miniatures, great to deal with.
For shipping to outside the USA you can check the rates for Europe on www.usps.com. You should find each country and region listed there...
Once again, a masterpiece in miniature. This is lovely and I'll be looking to acquire one of these when its released.
Stay safe and keep painting!!

Hi,
For those of you interested in the Roman period, this article contains a photo of a restored roman dagger found at an archeological site in Germany. The dagger is absolutely beautiful and would be a great reference for sculptors.

Once again these are absolutely incredible. It's hard to believe that they are so small given that they are sculpted and painted better than most 54mm figures IMHO.
Bravo!

I don't normally like painting braid on uniforms (I'm way too clumsy to do a good job), but this could tempt me for sure. It's a beautiful sculpt with lots of style and character.
You've done a fantastic job and this is a marvelous piece. I look forward to seeing it in different scales...
These are wonderful additions to the range. I have some figures from Avanpost and can testify that the quality of sculpting and casting is exceptional.
Congratulations Oleg.
I'll be sending an order in today.
