Tell us a little more of your idea, Igor; I think I like what you are saying!

 

[Igor]

For example, we can discuss the topic of the figure or series
Many people were asking about WW1...
Country, army, uniform, pose ....
Sculptors may find the idea of the future model
This may be a Toy Soldiers or Connoisseur style
The author can sell the model or to sell them as KIT
Particular artists or studios can paint these figures commissioned by the store or to a private customer...

may be some body will translate my topic to English

This might be something interesting, just a little more explanation would be needed.
On another front, does anybody know what's going on with Kolobob? The website seems to be down.

Today I talked with Boris (Kolobob)
and he said that within the next month re-open its website
At the same time, he said that he was tired of this business

Thanks for the info.

Does not sound the most encouraging to be tired of the business and yet be reopening his website. I am afraid the heyday of Kolobob is over. I got some nice pieces from him, below is an example.

You can talk directly to the studio

 

[PJDeluhery]

Back to your idea, Igor. How might all this work?? As a painter, I'm interested.

 

[Igor]

for example

There are so many ready models and I do not know what's interesting to do
You give your advice

may be my sculptor or other sculptors from the forum will find an idea and make interesting figures
You'll know those figures and will give advice on how to make them more interesting
Then they can be cast (in my studio or another studio)
These figures can be painted ....

I do not understand
Previously, you could buy a soldier from Russia only through a mediator, and only that he could buy from the producer
Now there is the Internet.
You can find and buy anything, anywhere

 

[theweinz]

And that is all fine and well, but is the heyday of Kolobob not over?

I would like to see someone do a connoisseur level Vlad Tepes (Dracula). Maybe fighting the Turks. A company did a nice one a while back, but something that mixed fact and fiction would be interesting.

Hey Guys,
I picked up the 8th Punjab Officer below not too long ago. Its from Pat Bird's Series 77 (actually the figures measures about 85mm foot to turban). Under the base it is stamped "Made in England Series 77", and along the base (photo below) it is stamped "P.H.S.B. 74" and signed in white paint just to the left "76 TW." It appears to be a vintage studio piece before Bird picked up and move to the US. Does anybody know if Series 77 put out painted pieces like both Lasset & Stadden and who TW is? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
JW

 

[PJDeluhery]

Lovely piece! I wish I could help with info, but I can't.

 

[theweinz]

Thanks PJ,
Not Arsenyev type of detail, but it does have a charm to it.
