Just wanted to say what a great service I have had from Siberia Miniatures. I ordered the rebels set from the range. It was delivered today From Siberia to UK posted on the 5th March. Great figures too I just have to get time to paint them now.
I compare the service from Siberia to two orders I have made in the UK, one on the 28th Jan and one on 21st Feb, I have not got either of those yet.

Thanks for the heads up, I have heard they have some interesting stuff.
-
I can attest to the stellar professionslism of Michael at Siberia. He communicated wonderfully and dispatched quicky to the US. Now, as Tom Petty once said, the waiting is the hardest part.
-
Agreed, very good service.
-
Thank you for your good comments about my work guys :)
Always glad to be of service to you.
-
Again , anither thumbs up from me. Terrific service. 👍

Top man, top figures, top service

great figures and service.also the Forum has everything you need to know.
-
He has very nice stuff, and I have been tempted before.
The high praise has persuaded me to order some,
that is when my wallet has recovered from (what I have
already pre-ordered from) Salute.
-
Not a great shot but you get the idea, these are soem of the new Cucasian Cossacks, unbased in this pic sorry.

They is very nice Roger they have come up a treat
They look a lot more realistic than the Cossack's (from another maker) I painted last year.....hmmmm can I justify redoing the unit.....you betcha!
-
Ha, ha. Well I had initially planed to be a very few to add soem variaty to my Copplestone who they do complement reasonably well by the way (foot more so than cavalry) but I ended up getting enough for 3 extra units of Cossacks, one is finished and been in use for a while another recently finished will appear on the blog soon, the other I have yet to start. They are really nice figures.
-
Looking at your blog Roger you are an even bigger Cossack fan than me!
I could not see any photos of the Siberia Miniatures ones though are the under a different label?
-
I have a post still to load with the Studio Siberia Cossacks, all the pictures are there just missing some text, will be uploaded in the next week or oo. That said I did think I had some on there so mabe I need ot hav e alook through for you.
-
Try these, listed under RCW label rather than Cossacks. Each one has a number of manufacturers inclding Studio Siberia as they are mixed in many of my units.

Just wanted to add my ha'penny worth in praise of Siberia Miniatures. Great models - the detail isn't generally as sharp as Copplestone but the figures have a real elan about them, (rather more exciting poses than Copplestone). The horses are superb. The cavalry and Cossack plastoons are the best, I'd say.
And they come packed in genuine Russian tea packets for added local colour!

Yes thanks Roger it does
I am looking to make a unit of 10 Cossacks for 1941
So I was looking at how easy it would be to vary arms, heads etc - your look splendid
Although Leonid has several different poses they are different uniforms and there are only 1 or 2 suitable for my project
-
Not my area of expertise I am afraid but best of luck. You might consider just buying the ones that match, let us know how you progress.
-
I have managed to paint up a few more, will use these as markers in games may be.
-
Oh, that's the pack I absolutely need to get. And maybe Defence of the Manor. But those Bolsheviks for sure.
-
Good painting on very nice character pieces. :)
-
Really nice work!! :-* :-* Your painting really brings out the action and personality of these great minis.
