WATERLOO 1815 - Special Commission Piece from Niena - Part I (1 Viewer)

[mrsc94]

Hi Fellow Treefroggers!

Sometimes a collector just sees an unfinished set that just gets your juices going! That's what happened to me regarding the Andrea Model Kit - Waterloo 1815. Now I can hardly paint the side of a barn and have always admired the work of the Russian artists. As I own quite a few Russian pieces from Aeroart and the other studios, I tried to find a Russian Studio that would be open to painting a special set. Upon reading Igor's post as well as looking at some of Niena's finished sculptures and paintings, I reached out to see if they could make and paint this special commission set. As luck would have it, Igor had this in stock and we agreed upon the price and process. Igor then turned over the project to his wife Irina who manages the production stage. The attached pictures show the stock photo from Andrea and the kit as it would have come out of the box. Irina has graciously agreed to send me more pictures during the production process so that I can post updates on this commission piece.

So here is Part I!

I totally agree. Depending on how this project turns out, I want to have these special sets made.

I had the Roman/Barbarian kit a few years ago.I think I traded it to Kogu.I also had the Viking ship and a crusader one called "The Siege".Never had the money to get them done.I traded The Siege to Kogu and maybe the viking ship also.

Kogu is the man! He was nice enough to cut some deals on some First Legion pieces! I'm sure he has a nice collection. A great guy to deal with all around!

Did Kogu ever have the Viking or Siege done? I would love to see it.

Zach,

All this Russian St. Petersburg awakening the big bear here is your fault! I thought I had divested myself of some pieces so that I could fund my First Legion/Figarti Binges. Now I'm back in .......

Konrad is a great guy.I'm pretty sure he sold The Siege.I sold him the Conte Viking ship also.I think that he sold the Conte ship not too long ago.I can't for the life of me remember if he got the Andrea viking ship.I'm sure he will chime in when he sees this thread.
