Yes another figure from under my Xmas tree.
TARTAR MINIATURES
General Sir Bernard Law Montgomery In England, 1943

Superb resin 120mm figure sculpted by Igor Kordyukov
Produced by TARTAR MINIATURES

available from :
http://www.elgrecominiatures.co.uk/
Magnificent sculpture especially the face, a relaxed pose extremely réalistic.
A dark gray resin, rather hard, but flawless, a little as that "Stormtroopers" one's
A sculptor name difficult to write of remember for us (west people), IGOR KORDYUKOV, but must be retain.... Will enter in the list of great sculptor for 120mm as Corry, Reid.....
Photos from the Tartarminiatures website, the photos of the open box are in the attached files.

Highly recommended !

Quite superb. A must-have figure although WW2 is not one of my preferred modelling eras.

Well hello there ! well THAT is a very nice figure of Monty, Sir !
Reminds me a bit of the excellent Jeff Shiu figures.
It's good to see such a good figure of an Allied WWII subject - I'll put it on the list of figures to purchase.

... Just slightly off topic maybe, but I'm wondering, have they finally found the mythical & controversial air photos of Arnhem taken before Market Garden, on which German tanks could be seen ?

Johan not sure re the photos but there were certainly Enigma/Ultra messages referring to the various armoured troops being posted there and Major Brian Urquhart ((renamed Major Fuller in the film Bridge Too Far) certainly did show them to his superiors and subsequently transferred out of the Airborne after Arnhem. As to whether they still exist who knows they may well be buried away in a file somewhere.
