This is a very detailed work by Mr. Sergey from Russia. The figures are 54mm in metal. Good for a painting guide. See the Vikings. And the roman legionnaire. Much more pics on Sergey Link. link Hope you enjoy!. Amicalement Armand

Wow those are awesome.

Excellent. They actually look more believable as flesh and blood people than most re-enactors I've seen even though I'm absolutely convinced the re-enactors are definitely real people. The clothing and armour/weapons on these models just breathe authenticity. Doug

These are beautiful but the Saxon warrior is far from authentic…

These are beautiful but the Saxon warrior is far from authentic… But it looks like a real person. It may not be authentic but it is believable if you see what I mean… Doug

I agree the Saxon is not authentic, but he is very realistic. The subdued colours in the paint jobs do a lot for realism. One of the issues with reenactors is that all their kit is the same age (usually new or unworn). Real warriors kit has been worn, used, abused, repaired, replaced, washed, sun dried, worn wet, etc at different rates.

The paint job is very good. Had you seen the bloody axe?. Amicalement Armand
