That's a fantastic piece Zach! Congrats! I didn't even know that variation existed! I thought they were all going to be painted similarly to the prototype. I love the livery of your example. Great color combination- great piece, thanks for sharing the pics!

This one is Medieval Herald Trumpeting - Mounted. It is a Sineus sculpt painted by Kolobob.
Huge thanks goes out to Nicholas Cameron (Scarlett Pimpernel) for the repair to the bugle. It came from Russia broken (it happens). The seller offered to take it back, but I figured it was easier to get fixed here. You can't see the repair at all!

Hello all.
I'm quite new to this part of the Forum and I mainly collect K&C and FL. But today I acquired these fine Guys below.
As I don't know much about Aerort and St.Petersburg Figures I would like to ask, if someone can tell me something to each figure (Series, Personality/Name of the Figure, Artist, Release Date, value?). Would be great. Thank you.

Please don't take this personal. But this prototype figure does not impress me at all... for the money asked for it. If it was a regular figure made in China, 60-70$ ok, that's fine, but for a 150$ figure (or more), quality is not there for me.
It's like a lot of the figures sold by kolobob these days. Price has gone up 50% in the last year, and the quality has dropped.. and some of the painted figures he sells are done using counterfeit castings.
I am trying to find an altenative to those russian figures and if it requires starting my own range, I'll do it.. I am not far from there actually.
cheers

Just got this one. It is the prototype figure of Knight in Battle w/ War Hammer from AeroArt/St.Petersburg Collection #6351. Thor told me that he is painted as English Lord Greystoke.
