Is the 75mm Limited already sold out?

Friends, I wanted to make only one small circulation, but these figures were pleasant to very much.
I ordered new circulation.
New circulation will arrive to a warehouse approximately on February 25.
After that the figure will be available on the website again.

Oh that is cool. I hope I can snatch one!

Now you can order these figures in resin (54 mm and 75 mm)!

Hi there,
I am starting to paint this great kit.
Everything fits nicely and only the cannon ball needs some putty to make it a tight fit.

I am currently thinking about the colors to use for this Uniform.
The real Baron von Münchhausen fought in the Russian Turkish war 1736-1739, so I took a look at Russian Hussar Uniforms of the time and the Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel Army of the time.

On this picture he has a green Pelisse which I could not find anywhere in the Russian Regiments at all:

Same applies for the double Headed Eagle on the barrel sash was that used anywhere?

Since this a fictional Character I do not think this has to be all too accurate.
But none the less I wanted to ask if you had a Uniform in mind when creating this figure?

I too ordered this figure and wish to be (semi-)acurate(ish).
Me too could do with some help/clarification

I also found this one which comes from later Russian Army 1796

The real Baron Münchhausen can not be used since the stories about him are fictional (he even tried to suppress them).
But in the Story with the Cannon Ball General Burkhard Christoph von Münnich is mentioned which would base this also in the Türkish Russian war 1736

Non the less, I think the picture of the Russian officer above fits nicely to the Uniform of the Miniature.

Of course the baron was never a hussar. But if you need the Russian hussar uniforms for this period of time, then here I have attached the color picture.

I recommend to read this article:

Here detailed information on the Russian hussars of the second half of the 18th century

I allready have it (75mm) in my hands and I feel lucky. It's a great sculpture.
Thank you Chronos team !
