Why is it missing a guy?

You are absolutely right. There were 6 soldiers.
This work was done 20-25 years ago by a sculptor from Russia, but at that time there was no Internet and the master sculpted models from one photo.
3Unfortunately, he will not be able to make the latest model, since he is not alive.

Any reason why the 6th figure cant be sculpted by one of you modern day wizards to make this excellent piece correct?
