Nice collection of Aeroart! I like the variety of scale 54mm and 90mm. I hope to get one or two unique 90mm figures to add another level of variety in my collection. Good job with your picks! :salute::

This is my first 90mm. It's amazing how different the pieces become when they get that big

I just got this one from Kolobob. It is Phillip "The Good" of Burgundy. Pictures don't do this thing justice (and especially crappy iphone ones)

Here is another new one. It is Julius Caesar Wearing Olive Wreath w/Driver in Chariot (4 horses) # 3815 from Aeroart. Stupidly, I took this photo from an angle in which you can see the second chariot passenger. When I get a chance I'll take another.

and last but not least - for now - AeroArt Seleucid War Elephant #2025 (this is the figure on the cover of the Aeroart book). In person, it is spectacular!

Haha! ain't that the truth!

This is "Medieval Artillery Man" from Amber Studios. This is my first Amber figure. Price wise, more reasonable than most Russian manufacturers and the quality is close.

This is "15thc man-at-arms w/crossbow and decorative pavise" from AeroArt/St.Petersburg Collection #815
This one is 90mm. This is a wonderful example of what the Russians are doing. Head and shoulders above other manufacturers from England and the US that I am familiar with.

and last but not least of this batch, "100th Anniversary of Victory of Napoleon (dancing couple), 1812" from Sineus Studios

I started this thread by saying recent purchases, but if you have some Russian figures in your collection, even if not recent, share with all of us!

There are many studios in St-Petersburg and a lot in Russia{sm3}
I do not have time to introduce all of them

90 mm Romanov Family from Niena Studios. Beautiful work (just needs a little touch up on Nicholas II's hand).

 

[zblang]

The Hunting Mishap XIIth Centruy Vignette by St. George's Cross. I am not all that familiar with them. I got this because I liked the figure. I don't know if they are full service, ie sculpt and paint, or if they just painted it. I included a photo of the bottom. Does anyone know that mark?

 

[zblang]

I love this set. It's technically two separate figures, but I can't imagine one without the other.


Persian Archer from Grudsky Studio / St. Petersburg Collection #3170 and
Cyrus the Younger Bodyguard w/ Spear and Shield from Grudsky Studio / St. Petersburg Collection #3167

What kind of camera do you use?
Color photos are distorted

 

[zblang]

These were just from my iPhone

This baby just arrived from Austalia.
Philistine Chariot (SPK)
St. Petersburg Collection / Arsenyev Studio

(sorry for quality, I don't know why the camera wouldn't focus properly)

 

[zblang]

I also just grabbed a few 15th Century archers
They are Aresenyev and St. Pete's Collection, but there is also a mystery one and a mystery about two of the others. See other thread to help solve it {sm4}
