Zvezda is a Russian model company that I've been trying to find more information for. Although Babel Fish usually does a good job translating I'm having trouble finding a supplier of these online. Any ideas or experiences with Zvezda? |

I have also bought Zvezda stuff from Squadron.com, also on ebay and my local shop has a limited range (mainly their 1/72 historical figures). Are you interested in their historical 1/72 or their 'Ring of Rule' 25/28mm fantasy figures? I think I have almost all their fantasy figures if you want an opinion of them I would be happy to oblige, also some of their fortress stuff. I think if you do a search on TMP for 'Zvezda' you will also find some reviews of their figures. |

Do you have any pictures of their royal cavalry for ring of rule? |

Sorry – should have added go to "Figure Review". He has a picture of the sprue. Sprew? Sproooooooo?? |

Cool, thanks guys. The Imperial Forge review was the first I saw of these figures. I really like the look of the Royal Cavalry. Has anyone actually assembled and painted these? I'd appreciate your opinions. |

I have not worked with the cavalry, although I have some. I did assemble three of the foot knights/men at arms, and found them a bit annoying. The sword arm is molded with the hilt of the sword in the hand, but the blade of the sword is, for know good reason, a separate piece and it is particularly annoying trying to glue that thin slice of plastic to the hilt where it is exactly lined up. Frankly I got so irritated that I set them aside and have not gone back to them. The lances for the mounted knights should not have this problem. |
