I believe Zach's stunning female samurai is from Pegaso.
The flowing robes and kimono of samurai (male or female) not wearing armor seem to make the perfect canvas on which the Russian painters can go bezerk creatively and the results can be truly breathtaking.
I think SA14 (the seated samurai resting and drinking), photos of which have also been posted by Zach if I remember correctly, is another great example of this.
Does anyone know of other female samurai sculpts (kits I suppose), not necessarily in a fighting pose, that the Russians could paint? I'd hate to think that this kit is the only one of its type available.

This little vignette is Two Generations of Vikings - Father and Son with Toy Boat. I don't know who the sculpt is from, but I bought it from spbsouvenir
I absolutely love the subject matter here. The painting is good, not great, but I didn't care.

Haha! I have collected (and drunk) wine for many years and have amassed a pretty good sized cellar. I finally hit the point that I realized there was no way I was going to drink it all and sent a ton to auction. That money is now my toy soldier money! This is money much better spent - these little guys don't go bad! ^&grin

Zach,
I think this might be an Andrea kit.

This one was the shock of the day. I bought this thinking it was 54mm and the cost was reflective of this thinking. It came in the mail and I said, "What the hell else is in the box with this?" The answer is, nothing was! It was a 90mm mounted figure!!!!
It is Robert the Bruce - painted by Nienna. I am not sure who did the sculpt. Maybe when Igor pops in he could lets us know.
