Looks nice. Russian guard = 480 rubles = Euro 6,80 = GBP 6.00 = US$ 8.45.
The others = 320 rubles = Euro 4,50 = GBP 4.00 = US$ 5,60.
Not too fond of the standards, I would use my own. |

Made from urethane resin. How is that different from hard plastic. Will they bend or shed paint like old Airfix figures? |

The photos are wonderful… I will be honest and say not one of these on a ridge south of Brussels, when it really mattered…. Although I do accept there were earlier skirmishes before 1815 So I speak with profound ignorance. But ignorance is no impediment to expertise on this forum This Kiwer thing? The "Shako". It looks great…but did it ever happen? |

Urethane resin – very similar to hard plastic – but perhaps a little more brittle. They certainly will not bend or shed paint – and the detail achieved with it is outstanding. My only fear on some of the figures I have bought – not these I should add – is that some parts like a very thing gun trail – may prove fragile. But as I said – the detail that some people are getting with this resin is incredible – there is a TYW cavalryman out there with the face guard on his pot cast separately so you can even make it moveable if you want to. Those are from Avanpost – these figures from Gennady Stupin as also superb – and Gennady is a great guy to deal with! |
