Many people doing reserves and want understand how we did it… We had 3 interviews with magazines because they took a lot photos and they will do a article of 3D print and the Lancaster.

Everyone has their own view of course, but I find it odd that some should
question the level of texture these pieces carry. I find those textures totally
miraculous - leather, open weave or tightly stitched padded textiles, tarnished
iron, chainmail - are all absolutely astonishing, and will be thrilling to paint.
They're the key element of RP's figures......bravo Hugo !

No Problems hope you had a safe trip home.
 
Just unpacked this figure for the second time and I have to agree with Melanie's criticism here. While RP models are nice these textures are somewhat overdone and they start coming off as gimmicky and not historically accurate. The breastplate and great helm here look more corroded than museum pieces of the time, which is funny because they don't exist on Pogosyan's original sculpt (the man knows what he's doing, even if you choose not to credit him for some reason) and seem to have been added during production.

Oleg's the man alright.He is very well versed in the arms and armour of the Middle ages indeed.

Which is why I don't think it's a good approach to historical modelling to take perfectly fine, thoroughly researched models by historical experts who work from references (in this case Pogosyan and the Churburg cuirass), slap some fancy textures on there because apparently that really impresses some people whether they make sense or not, and then release it without crediting the original artwork.

The completely ridiculous woodgrain and leather jacket you added to Oleg's viking is another good example.
