FWIW, that ad has been up for at least 5 months now.

I just received my first true connoisseur figure - an Aeroart St. Petersberg Templar - and am looking at a few George Grasse figures. I know he was mentioned earlier in this thread but what is the overall opinion of his work? I am most looking at some of his Native American figures at the moment but any feedback would be welcome.

His painting seems exemplary to me.

What do you think of the figure? Do you have a picture?

Amazingly accurate; I can almost hear him speaking. Not the pose I would have picked but very nice none the less. Do you have that one?

I have been doing business with Mr.Grasse for about 4 years now and he always done a wonderful job for me.I have around 16 Viking figures/vignettes he's done for me.Now I'm getting him to do some FIW vignettes for me.I recieved one set recently called The Scouts and he has one called the Pursuit with 2 woodland indians running.Unfortunetly Mr. Grasse just under went a very serious operation but is doing very well and should be up and running in a couple of months.A couple of figures he did for me may be on e bay shortly,Vlad Tepes and El Cid.

I am very happy with it. It fits in well with my K&C Crusaders and Saracens - it stands out, of course - and is a fantastic piece. I will certainly be purchasing others as I am able.

Thank you for the response, Mark. I am impressed with the photos on his site and am very intersted in the figures he offers in areas which aren't as heavily covered - especially the Plains tribes of North America. I certainly plan to contact him and wish him a quick recovery.

Combat-

The figures are stunning! I am especially impressed with the Gallic war leader. Beautiful works of art.

Thanks for sharing.

That is a very nice figure. I thought someone here posted that the Russian figures tended to be on the small side. Does it match in size with the K&C Crusaders; can you post a side by side photo by chance?

 

[chiefs70]

I am not the greatest photographer nor do I have a great camera so I apologize for the quality. However, I think this gives a fair representation of the size comparison. I chose a K&C figure I believe has a similar "crouch." I would say the K&C seems a tad bit larger but when I have them mixed together it isn't at all noticeable. I think they mix very well together.

Ah, thanks mate, I would agree from your photo. That is helpful.

Aztecs get mentioned now and again as an idea for a new line. I doubt it ever happens, but here is one:

I have mentioned before George Grasse of Historical Miniatures (www.histomin.com) before and I wanted to let anybody whose interested to know that he is back painting after a serious operation and he his looking for work.

Did Capitolron pose for this one, by chance?
