Chris - there are no enhancements on the photos - all I did was crop them.

I always contact Olga on Facebook. If your not on there, send me a pm with your email and I’ll have her reach out to you. I basically I just send her a link to the kit I like and she orders it and has it sent to her. I used to order it and then ship to her but we decided that was dumb to do double shipping. Generally shipping from her to me isn’t bad, but this one got lost in the mail for about a month. We were both terrified and needless to say thrilled when it arrived on my stoop!

Zach, that tavern scene is fantastic. The detail looks exactly like a Van Meer. Chris

I just received my latest commission. This one had me pretty stressed out! Got lost in the mail between Germany and the USA!!! Thankfully it arrived and in perfect condition.
This is Musketeers in the Tavern. It is a kit from Irbis Miniatures and I had it painted by Olga Kropotova. In my opinion, she is currently one of the best painters out there. For those of you who collect or know about Russian figures, she is the daughter of Tatiana. When Olga received the kit, she was not happy with it, so sculpted some additions herself and redid some of what was already there. All of the decoration on the fireplace was added as well as the china on the mantle. To me, it's the little things that make a great diorama - the freehand work she did on the walls and the painting on the plates is simply amazing to me!
This scene is based on the painting by Frank Moss Bennett

This is absolutely stunning. The detail work is incredible, especially on all the pottery. Beautiful piece. -- Al

Neat video. You've certainly captured the pomp and circumstance of a British parade at the height of the empire.
