... if you take a closer look at the equipment worn by the German soldier it will become quite clear which is the original picture. If you check the busts Yellow Cat is talking about and compare them to the range of Young Miniatures it will be obvious what is the copy and what is the original.

Not sure why this is relevant, but it's an easy question. If you take a map of Europe the Germans invaded Russia storming to the right so the picture in the book must be right. Never mind Martin's equipment observations. ;-)

Another ID the picture game.......???????? Sorry no time for that.
Back to the bust. The seller must be a nice person selling all those busts at 60 to 75% off retail price with no original box to reduce the shipping cost.

It is well known in the internet community that whenever there are articles that have negative news about Russia, there are teams of commentators that flood the comment boards with contrarian views about the article. They are so amatuerish in nature that everyone knows the posters names and calls them on it.
I did not realize that the miniature community deserved such attention too. Is it a Putin plot to de-stabilize the sanctions by flooding the miniature market with cheap recasts?

Pirate copies? From Russia? No! That can't be! You must be mistaken.

Hmm,? But each dodgy recast could be a 'Secret Agent', ( Scientifically Miniaturised) . Which is sat upon your shelf and reporting personal details directly to 'Putin's', 'How to not be detected department'.

Edit, However I must admit, that the piece's that I have purchased from (Michael) 'Prickkket', are second to none!
