I promised to put these little fellows on sale on November and here they are. Introduction set, samples of almost all figures I have for now. I make big mould later and then there can be ordered these with bigger amounts. For now I cast them with several small capricious moulds and one set takes hours to prepare. |

Very nice. I wish you success and joy in thy endeavors! |

very nice looking, I am not into 6 mm – but will order one – but with production, it is happening what I was fearing, mould making, casting, takes valuable time which you could better use for sculpting. |

Always looking for new 6mm – I will give them a careful look! |

You are welcome to looking them! :-) Now I must try to paint them.. this is harder than sculpting. von Winterfeldt, but if I don't make moulds and cast, then the sculpting will be slower.. all this dolls and halfproductions must be moulded and casted anyway. One big production mould on the end is as celebration. |

Hi Sparta. You got those couple of days ago.. so we wait for review. ;-) |

I received mine, though not my scale, I like especially the cavalry |

I have also received mine. I was positively surprised. The sculpting is really good, and the figures are very well proportioned. Boki is a really talented sculptor. What I really liked was the poses. The cossaks had the best lances on a 6 mm miniature I have seen, and the lances and swords were in good positions that looks like they will not break easily in the long run. The infantry is perfectly spaced, and will look good when based. Compared to Adlers (which are my reference) they are 20% smaller, so that I can put 12 on a base where I put 10 adlers. Unfortunately they are in my opinion not compatible with Adlers (or Baccus for that matter), as they are more the size of Heroics and ros (but with much better detail). Therefore they are of no use to me with my huge Adler collection. I wish Boki would take the same path with the 6 mm as he has taken with his 18 mm, where he produces a line that is compatible with the "gold standard" AB´s making players able to use his range to supplement rather than change their collection. If Boki redesigned this range to be Adler / Baccus compatible in size, his sculpting talents would make the range a great succes, whereas the present size will – in my opinion – target a much smaller audience. |
