Here a photo of already ready figures basmachis. Work on other miniatures proceeds. In total in a series there will be 12 different figures.
Photos I show black-and-white as I prefer to use in work various materials with different properties. But these materials of different colour and a detail are badly visible in a colour photo.

Some beautiful work!
Will they be released as a unit or with there be any available seprately? Perhaps some sort of command figure mounted and on foot?
-
If you get figures directly at me, I am ready to complete any figures according to your desire.
These miniatures will be on sale complete sets from 3 figures. 3 х 4 = 12 different figures in 4 complete sets.
1 complete set - command. In it there will be 1 figure of the commander, 1 standard-bearer and 1 younger commander.
Post termination works over horse basmachis there will be begun a series of the pedestrian basmachis.
The painted figure is a figure from "Copplestone Castings". For comparison of scale with my figures.
-
Now those are very nice. I think you have single handedly resusciatated my interest in this period. I look forward to the finished product.
-
Bloody wonderful!!! :-* :-* :-*

*nodnod* I, with my foppish ways, have started to look at Siberia Miniatures as rather select collectors items. ;)
-
The figures are superb. They seem to have a lot of character. I am looking forward to adding them to my Russian Civil War Wargame Armies.

Great figures on brilliant horses! Much better than the Copplestone "ponies" ...

You mean horses that actually look like scraggy steppe ponies?
The traditional steppe horse is a pot bellied wee thing, with stiff mane and shaggy hide. He does not look much as a horse. But that's because they are bred for endurance, not beauty.
-
You mean horses that actually look like scraggy steppe ponies?
No, I meant that Mark Copplestone - although he is one of my all-time-favourite sculptors - is not very good at sculpting horses. All his horses look like steppe ponies!
:)
-
Quite amazing! Congratulations on such excellent work!
-
Outstanding!

Cuprum,
I see you also plan a series of figures for "Yermak" and his conquest of Siberia. There is a large range of Muscovite and Tartar figures already available from TAG. Could I suggest that you make the Yermak range compatible?
That way, the collector could use 1 range to supplement the other.
-
Certainly, I will try to make these figures as much as possible compatible.
Work on a series figures "Yermak" will be begun upon termination of works on a series on the Polish-Soviet war.

Thanks! I would be happy to post the link on the relevant discussion boards when you have some WiP ready to show!
-
Cuprum,
Do you have any plans for Siberian White forces? Some very interesting uniforms in that Theatre.
-
Yes, certainly.
After work end on army Bukhara Emirat I will be engaged in Red and White armies in Siberia and in the Far East. As, I hope, I should have armies of interventionists.
Preparation for manufacture terrain (buildings) under 28 mm is now conducted.
As in my assortment there will be paper banners for my miniature. The first complete set - banners basmachis and Emirsky army - to appear next week.
-
Russo-Polish War? Now that's got my attention. The Red Army is pretty well covered, French Great War troops suffice for Haller's Blue Army and much of the rest can be gleaned from existing ranges of Austro-Hungarians or Germans. What do you have in mind? Legionnaires? Polish Uhlans?
-
Wow! I will tell Santa I want these :o :o :o

While in work the Polish infantry. For this theme the assortment is selected not by me, and my partner from Europe. A series of figures is developed under its order. That is included into its further plans - I do not know. I know, that there will be a cavalry on my horses. That are now used in a series basmachis.
-
Wow outstanding!
-
Some months of my work are finished.
Here result. They are horses of 28 mm which will be will be applied
In my subsequent miniatures. They like me. And how to you?
Has started to prepare them under the basmachis.

Please do ragged Japanese Cavalry for the RCW/Manchuria area.
-
The horses are lovely,best I've seen :).
-
They are nice!
-
Really nice horses! You seriously need to expand towards Europe. This will become a fantastic range that can please many many miniature collectors. It's a pity if borders and payment difficulties keep these beauties away from their hands.
-
Really nice horses Cuprum - you are a very talented sculptor. Can't wait to see what you have for buildings. Unfortunately the postage to Canada will be prohibitive. Even UPS and DHL will be astronomical.
-
Thanks for your good responses, guys!
I know, that many western collectors and gamers are frightened by complexities of reception of figures from Russia. But I already sent the works to the western buyers and they have not received any special complexities.
Yes, PayPal does not send money to Russia that is very a pity. But it is possible to take advantage of similar English payment system "Moneybookers". It has enough low interests for remittance. Esteem their working conditions. They a little than differ from PayPal.
Mail from Russia sometimes slow enough, but quite within limits.
If there is interest Sepoy1857, give I will specify cost of sending of a package to Canada, we will know precisely.
The Japanese cavalry - it is quite possible. But hardly in the near future. At first - Central Asia in Russian Civil war.
-
Cuprum,
this looks awesome! I look forward to your next release and I am excited regarding the plans I know you have for the Polish War. (Torstein gave me some details on that ;))
-
Yes, work proceeds. I necessarily will place all news here.

I can vouch for this albeit only based on one transaction.
I've had worse problems getting items shipped from Canada.
-
For some reason the western clients are afraid to buy the goods in Russia. Plus a problem with PayPal, refusing to work in Russia is high-grade. If thus also to me to create problems to the client - what for in general to be engaged in such business. I am very interested in the western buyers of production. In the Russian market such figures are not on sale almost. Here very much low yields at the majority of the population. Russian gamers cheap plastic figures 1/72 presume to get the majority only. If I cannot sell the figures on the West, I mean I will not be engaged in a miniature in general. It would be very distressing. This work very much is pleasant to me.
-
I have bought several times from Cuprum, both 28 mm and 60 mm and paid through Moneybookers.
There are no problems in buying from him.
One just has to remember that Cuprum lives almost at the end of the world, close to the Chinese border, so any post takes about 14 days to reach Europe.
But both the Russian Post and Moneybookers are fully reliable.
-
I must say that I trust cuprum. No problem there. We are LAFers after all. :) I am not so sure about moneybookers yet. I am reading so many bad reviews about scams and similar situations.
Do you have to connect your bank account with MB? That my worry really.

I payed them via Visa.
-
I guess that's an option, athough not the safest handing them my card details... Or am I just paranoid?
-
I payed them via Visa.
While not everyone is happy with Moneybooker for various reasons I think it is good to know that Moneybooker is an accepted payment service on Ebay.

-
Remington, if you is afraid of Moneybookers, you can eventually transfer the amount for Cuprum to my PayPal account, I will then transfer via Moneybookers.
Do not know if there are any costs for transferring between two private PayPal accounts?
-
Thank you for that kind offer but I think Hammers just gave me the reassurance I needed. Should a problem arise, maybe I could get back to you if your offer still stands.
-
Those sculpts are truly marvelous! :o 8) 8) 8) :o
Hurry and get them on the market ;) :). Once people see the quality I think they may sell very well. You could also look into the possibility of getting moulds made in 'Europe' (wierd saying that as obviously Russia is part of Europe!).
Regardless, I'll be buying some for certain.
Darrell.
-
Can Moneybookers be used from outside Europe?
-
Here is what I do. I have a "second" visa card with only a couple of $100 limit which I use just for internet transactions.
If the card is scammed, it matters little. My maximum loss is very small.
-
Hi guys.
Once again thanks for attention to my work.
I wish to ask. In what scale it is necessary to make banners for figures of 28 mm? 1/56, 1/48?
It seems to me, that banners of larger scale will look more interesting. Your opinion?
Regards
Michael

-
Wow! Love them.
-
Great work, cuprum! I also think that slightly larger flag look much more interesting on the table. I'd go for the larger ones. But best thing to do, I would think, is try it out and look what they look like on a miniature.
-
Agreed.
How do I print sheets, be sure to lay out photos of figurines with flag.
In addition to these flags are almost ready flags Army of the Bukhara Emirate.

The breadboard model of the Russian city apartment house in M: 1/56. Such houses were under construction in all territory of Russia since second half XIX century. They are maintained in old city areas and settlements till now. The house breadboard model will be cast in resin. A breadboard model modular from several details. Allows to place in a figure and furniture breadboard models.
Would like to see still you exact copies of buildings and which?

Work on a series of figures of infantry of the Polish army on the Polish-Soviet war proceeds. Excuse for poor quality of a photo - my sculptor yet has no good camera. And skills in photographing at it too, apparently, not enough. It would be desirable to hear your remarks if the such are available. You can affect a definitive kind of figures.

The one who wishes to learn more about this war, can get these books:
The Polish book in English language, is published in 2005.
Mainly it is a picture book with contemporary photos.
The text is a collection of contemporary people telling short stories about those days, actions and such

The year 1920. The War between Poland and Bolshevik Russia:
The Year 1920. The year when the fate of the Nation was thrown in the balance - the year of the greatest Polish victory of the 20th Century over an external, ruthless enemy. Eighty-five years ago, the Polish people closed ranks and stood up for their Motherland in the face of an ideology which posed a threat to the whole of Europe. Poland alone stood in the way of Bolshevism.
Pages: 220.
Price: 66,8 zloty.
It can for example be bought through the Polish internet-bookshop Bookmaster.pl
One has to use Google Translate, if one is not reading Polish. But it is easy in that way to buy from the page.
Their postage by air-mail is 92,- zloty, but I doubt it can be done cheaper. Maybe if people at the same time buy another Polish book on 1920, they really get value for their money

This is mainly a picture book showing the Poznan troops, 1919-21, but it also has descriptions of those battles these troops took part in after successfully having won the Wielkopolski Uprising against Prussia/Germany. The Pozanians then were sent into the battles along the Eastern borders. And of course they took part in the Battle of Warsaw. It is a very well illustrated book.
-
cuprum those Polish figures are wonderful. When the range is ready I will be happy to buy some from you. Really nice sculpts and excellent attention to detail. Superb work. If you don't already, then you should be looking at doing some commission work for Western minis companies.
Many thanks for the tips on the books.
-
Gorgeous. The figures are a blast, and I need that house my friend!
-
I like the house too...very nice; good for WWII as well as RCW.

Hi Friends.
Studio "Siberia" work proceeds. Not all turns out so quickly as I would like. It is not still made for the maximum convenience of buyers. But these problems will be necessarily overcome.
I hope, in the near future I will manage to solve a question with payment PayPal.
Now in working out new Internet shop with the convenient interface, in two languages - English and Russian. The forum will be built in shop for dialogue, on a site articles on history, the information on colouring of figures will give all the best.
Within the limits of the project "1920 - the Polsko-Soviet war" will be begun a series "Ukrainian army". It is very beautiful and unusual uniform in style of the Zaporozhye Cossacks XVIII, XIX centuries.
If on model of buildings there will be a consumer demand - this series will extend too. By the way - you can prompt to me, what breadboard models are necessary wargamers. Manufacturing is possible in any scales. My person - the author of model of the house - simply virtuoso. I have received yesterday by mail a building breadboard model is looks even, than in a photo much more beautifully. The tree invoice outside - and plaster in the house is represented. In painting "the small masterpiece" should turn out.
Here still its some works - at desire can be repeated them for circulation:

everyone should have one - in size for 28mm figures!!!
Also nice house.

Such fortress in 28 mm will be very big... And expensive!
Whether will be wishing to buy such big object?
-
A 28mm Village log or wooden Church would be nice or small log farmhouses and barns.

I applaud your ambitions and really, really hope you will get to a business model where you can reach a broader wargamer market. I have tried the current method of purchasing and it works fine. I am tempted by your new building(s).
I am curious of what you mean by "breadboard models". I suppose it is a cryptic translation of a Russian expression?
-
I really like the polish miniatures. It's a very original style but I like it.
The fortress is mind-blowing! :o
-
"breadboard models" - building type. What buildings are necessary for game?
The Asian buildings are interesting? A yurta, a minaret, a canopy of the dealer with melons and water-melons for example?

It was mentioned before... The building I miss most is a nice Orthodox rural church. The Hovel's model is good, but I really can't grow to like it much.

Well, there will be a church!

And I will be happy! :D

I agree I painted one up for a friend and I had to do a major conversion of the dome and ended up using one of the Ian Weekly dome from Trevor at Koritiani. But still it leaves something to be desired.

Yes, as you say, it is rather easy to get hold of goods from "strange" countries with even more "strange" languages.
Google is a great help.
I am sure, you will be happy with the two Polish books, good buys at a reasonable price, lots of pictures. And the one book in English.
You will have to wait 2-3 weeks until the books from Poland and the goods from Siberia reach you.
Nothing to do about that.
It is long way from the Chinese border to somewhere in Europe.
But the posts from Russia and Poland are reliable, so much I have learned.
Then you has to translate the Polish text, but again Google helps, even if it is not very good at Polish, especially when the Polish writer has a little special way of expressing himself. But with the text in the book about the Poznanians, the translation via Google goes rather well. And with a dictionary and when you has learned a few of the Polish military uniform terms, it goes rather easy.
Good luck with an interesting subject.

Hopefully the 1920 polish will be released early 2011?

Unfortunately, the sculptor whom I have employed for this work works very slowly. It is necessary to kick it much.
Here a site on which you can find the information on the Polish military vehicles:
http://derela.republika.pl/armcarpl.htm#ac
If the command of the Polish armoured car is necessary to players - certainly I will make the Polish crew.
Question of a uniform of Poles difficult enough.
The basis of the Polish army for that period was made by the contingents which were earlier a part of other armies - German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, French. Therefore originally in the Polish army uniforms of the sample of all these countries rushed.
As the regulated uniform the uniform based on the French uniform, but with the Polish signs on distinction and headdresses has been accepted. Colour mustard.
In a reality all these uniforms + deliveries from Antante rushed. There is even a mention of delivery to Poles from the USA the Mexican horse equipment and a uniform!
The only thing that it is possible to tell - all uniforms in one military unit were, basically, one sample.
In army the French and German helmets have been widely widespread.
The Polish artillery. In quantity the French guns of 75 mm, 155 mm prevailed. There were also German 77 and 105 mm of a gun, Russian 76 mm of a gun.
Poles had 24 tanks Renault FT - 17.
On the Polish army I suggest to create a separate theme and there to collect available data.

Unfortunately, the sculptor whom I have employed for this work works very slowly. It is necessary to kick it much.
lol lol lol What is he, a serf?
-
Worse! He is a loafer and dunce. But the talented! :(
There is a saying in Russia: "The hedgehog - a proud bird. While it is not kick - it will not fly." lol
He, like this hedgehog. ;)
-
Hahaha! That is a great saying! :D
-
Polish uniforms 1918-1921 are a very wide and open field.
One has first to decide, which unit one is to portray, where it was raised, where it fought and then the date, as the uniforms constantly changed all after supplies either bought, taken, locally produced or coming from France, England, Italy, Austria, or USA.
When the different uprisings started, the infant Poland had very few regular troops. One of these was the later 8th Lancers, the former Austrian Lancer-regiment Prince Poniatowski, which went over with all its equipment.
Else the first units were volunteer units, clad in whatever they could muster and just with a white eagle on the headdress and a red-white rosette or red-white armband.
In the Poznan area, the earlier German area Pommern, the units were clad in uniforms from the former Polnischer Wehrmacht with some red-white stripes on their collars. The Polish Poznan troops were the best uniformed and equipped, as this area still had the industry to produce, while the rest of Poland had been ravaged totally for everything useful.
In Gallizia, the former Austrian and Russian areas, the uniforms were mainly put together from whatever could be found of Austrian uniform parts or what could be taken as booty or produced locally.
The Polish troops returning from Russia, one way or another, came forward in their former Russian gear, when the uprisings started. Details from the Russian cavalry (coloured cap bands and dark blue trousers with stripes) uniforms very much influenced the uniforms of all the cavalry and horse artillery.
The Blue Corps of General Haller arrived fully uniformed and equipped in French gear, just with a kind of Rogatywka instead of French headdresses. The French uniforms were of very bad quality and as soon as possible changed (but also political reasons were behind the change) to the Polish uniform M.1919, but very few regiments got these uniforms before the War ended. The former Legionaires of Pilsudski seem rather fast to have received the new khaki uniforms. Exactly when and which regiments got the new uniforms seems not to be known at the moment.
The French helmets were rather useless, being badly produced in thin materials and so the were discarded, whenever the soldiers found a possibility to do so. The Italian helmets were more liked.
German and Austrian helmets were mainly used by assault troops and especially the machine gun companies. Generally helmets were not worn, as the risk of head wounds from shrapnels and artillery fire was minimal.
The way of warfare in Poland - and Russia around 1920, was quite different from the fightings on the Western fronts. In the East it was highly fast and mobile warfare, none of the warring parties had much artillery or heavy equipment of any kind. The most important weapons were light and heavy machine guns and mortars. The more the better.
It was mainly an infantry war, until Budjonny arrived with his massive 1. Cavalry Corps and Gayda with his GayCor. Then also the Poles had to organize big cavalry units. But up to then, the cavalry was mostly used for reconnaissance, out-posts, liaisons and minor actions.
The headdresses were vary varied.
The little cap with brim, the so-called maciejowka, was a kind of national cap and can be found in many variations. This cap was the most common in the beginning - except for for the Poznan troops, who wore the four-cornered Rogatywka, a cap in the form known from the Polish lancers of Napoleonic fame.
Also field caps in different forms were used.
The new uniform M.1919 brought a Rogatywka to the whole army, but in many different forms, as no two Poles wore their caps modelled in the same way. Up to then many of the soldies also formed their caps into the four-cornered Rogatywka style, as best could be done - with cardboard, wire or whatever.
The Rogatywka M1919 was first worn without stiff top, but Pilsudski asked the troops to use the stiff form. A few later it was back to the soft form well known from 1939 and later.
Only one thing can be said for sure: on all Polish caps of the periodwere the white eagle - in different models.
When in comes to the systems of officers and nco distinctions, several were in use up to 1919.
The chevron system on the cuffs in the Poznan Army, the Austrian system with stars on the collar and the system from the Legions. From 1919 a totally new system was introduced with ranks on the shoulder-straps and caps.
When it comes to Polish uniforms 1918-1921, whatever the regulations of 1919 say, then it is possible to find find a contemporary photo, which shows a soldier dressed in something else.
The uniforms of the armoured car guys, from 55th Infantry Regiment (a Poznan Regiment) have been in a field grey (German field gray) uniform, it could have a light brown/green tinge.
The picture with the colours being decorated is very interesting.
The uniforms are not special. The overcoats does not look French, but rather Polish, German or Russian (Russian overcoats were much very liked by all combatants, if one could get hold of one. The officers wear side caps and cavalry caps. The higher officer and his staff doing the decoration seem to be in Austrian cavalry jackets with fur collar.
The regiment seems not to be a regiment from the Haller Corps, as the colours being decorated must be some of those presented by some local area. It is not colours of the later authorized type, nor the type presented to the Haller Corps in France. Those shown must have been red with white/silver pipings and eagles. Most or all Polish regiment carried their colours into battle, at least until they met Budjonnys 1. Cavalry Corps.
It could be rather dangerous for a Polish regiment to carry their colours into the field, as any regiment, who lost its colours, would be stricken from the army lists and disbanded.
The artilleryman is from 3rd Poznan Foot Artillery Regiment. His uniform is light grey. The stripes on his collar are red-white.
The men and officers of 4. Regiment Lancers, Zaniemenski, originated from the Eastern 1st Polish Corps of general Dowbor-Musnicki and took effectively part in the November 1918 uprising in Warsaw and the following disarmament of the Germans. It became a very mixed regiment with men from many other units. It fought all along the Eastern fronts. 1919-1920 it took 208 prisoners, 500 horses, 4 guns, 13 machine guns and 4 colours.
The regiment had light-blue/middle-blue cap band and light-blue over white lance pennants.
Here the men and officers of the machine gun company are shown in Austrian type jackets with fur collar, their caps have the typical metal edge on the shades, which was introduced late in the war and they are wearing their white parade tassels at the shoulders. The picture is perhaps a little later than 1920-21.
The two privates are from 1919-1920. The soldier to the right has an American belt. Their uniforms are in some kind of dark khaki (English nuance). On the collar they have the white wézyk (officers wézyks were in silver), the collar zig-zag ornament known from earlier period uniforms. These two fellows have not been members of the former Legions, as in that case the wézyk should have run along the top of the collar. That was changed before the war ended, so all had the same type wézyk as seen here.
The last picture shows Poznan troops on parade and you see the officers rank distinctions on the cuffs. Uniforms grey or grey green.
I have not uploaded any pictures with this, as I have not yet discovered how to do it.

Great info ts, most informative, thanks!
I also struggled with the photos inthe beginning but for me the best choice was to open a www.photobucket.com account, upload the images and the copy the IMG tag into the post. Knowing the number of photos you have on the subject I think the Prof need to get another server once you get a grip on the how-to ;)

Regimental staff, possibly from a cavalry regiment 1920.
When one looks a little closer at the picture, it seems to be a brigade staff - at least.
On the left a private trooper in a simple dark khaki brown jacket without breast pockets, a sign of his lowly status.
Then comes a lance, which seems to have a dark coloured stripe dividing the two light colours of the lance pennon. Possibly the pennon of the command post/group/squadron.
Then comes the staff trumpeter, who even in the field turns up with trumpet banner on his cavalry trumpet. The banner is possibly Polish red with a Polish eagle and leaves plus banner trimmings in silver. His uniform seems to be dark khaki like that of the trooper.
Next comes an officer from the Horse Artillery, wearing what looks like a leather jacket. He is the only officer not wearing the official officers cap M.1919, a typical trait with the Horse Artillery, which acted as and certainly was an elite corps.
In the middle with the map is the leading officer, possibly a colonel or general. The cavalry officers are clearly obvious with their large metal edged brims on their caps. Also the different coloured regimental cap bands seem to be visible on some of the officers, some with a dark colour others with a light colour cap band.
Most of the uniforms, I guess, are in different shades of khaki, even if the two officers in very light coloured uniforms can be from a regiment in some carry colour uniform, maybe made from cloth obtained from the Americans. But for that matter, it can also be light grey uniforms.
The officer with the map case, on the right of the head huncho, is in a double rowed jacket, can be from a Poznan regiment with their Prussian ulankas. In that case his jacket and trousers are some kind of field grey, or some grey green.
None of the cavalry officers seem to wear the else very popular dark blue or black cavalry pants with red stripes.
The muster of the estandart in the background is not recognisible, but a good guess would be white and red with a regional emblem in the middle and maybe also emblems in the lower corners.

Great pictures ;)
Happy to see you have mastered putting images on the forum :D
hope to see loads more from you in the next year
David
ps do you have any pictures of artillery?
What make is the machine gun in the cart?
not sure if we should start a new topic for this? (Polish war 1920)

Polish Horse Artillery
I found over 100 pictures of different quality.
Those I have sent you directly, as I find it would be a little too much to put up on this site.
Anyone else want a copy of the pictures, they are welcome.
-
ts, that's great stuff! Just one correction to avoid confusion:
In the Poznan area, the earlier German area Pommern, the units were clad in uniforms from the former Polnisher Wehrmacht with some red-white stripes on their collars.
The Poznan Province was called Westpreußen / western Prussia, while Hinterpommern / farther Pommerania (the area around Szegedin) was to the north and only went polish in 1945. I would be rather surprised to learn from polish uprisings in Pommern, the population being in the vast majority german. Today both areas are polish with mostly polish population.
-
You is correct.
Always a problem what name to use, when the borders have been changed over the years.
To really get a grip on it, one has to use a map from the period. The Poznan State then was the area around the town Poznan.
-
... and now for something more colourful with the Polish cavalry.

The artist has got the jackets a light blue tinge, it seems. Or it can be the photo.
here is a better more correct post card depicting the same uniform.

Very interesting pictures, but I also think that it would be better to start a new thread concerning this new interest. Let's allow this one to be for Siberia miniatures news.

Hi cuprum
When is the house breadboard model to be released ? (cast in resin) 2011 ?
When in 2011 ? are you hoping to release your first batch of polish figures
David
-
Hi David
I exposed the house at Russian forum for discussion. To me have specified some errors in model which I have corrected. Now the small house is sent the founder. I think, casting will appear by the end of January - to February.
Poles - occurrence time I am at a loss to tell. The sculptor works very slowly. I try, as I can, accelerate process.
-
I exposed the house at Russian forum for discussion.
Oh. Fearsome.
-
Do not worry, all has managed! ;)
Necessary editings in model are made, the model is sent the founder.
-
Thanks Cuprum
my order from "Siberia - miniatures" , sent on 23/11/2010 came today 10/12/2010 :D
David
-
To you thanks for the order, David.
Long road at this parcel!
Probably, the delay has occurred because of a snowfall and increase in loading at mail in connection with Christmas.
-
My shop has changed the form and appearance.
http://siberia-miniatures.ru/
Now in it there is a forum. I want, that it would become a platform for dialogue of the Russian and Western wargamers and fans of history. At a forum it is possible to write in English.
Certainly, in shop still there are lacks (especially in an English-speaking part). I will be very grateful to you to you if you specify in available lacks.
-
Nice looking
what Books, magazines, films are you going to stock ?
The main thing i would be looking for is 1917 to 1920s books, and good russian films with English subtitles
looking forward to see what new is going to come out
David
-
It looks good Michael - nothing lacking! I signed up for the Forums as well.
-
I now will load all goods that is available on a site. Then I will prosecute a subjects of Russian books and films.
With a translation into English it is more difficult, but I will try to find.
-
Glad to see things are moving on for Siberia, cuprum! :) Very cool!

Hi guys!
I hasten to break the news.
Ready to model a small Orthodox church.
I myself have not had this layout in his hands, but here are the photos sent to me today, the author of the model.
The roof will be removable. Inside is the iconostasis. And the bell tower will be accommodate gunner! The enemy will not pass!
The next model that I want to do is a small railway station. After all, most of the fighting in the Civil War was conducted exactly along the railroad.

Cuprum
That is absolutely lovely!!!! :-* When will it be available and any idea of how much???
-
I finally found someone who will pour me this house. I myself have not been able to pour as my foundry equipment does not allow for such a large cast. Now comes the forming of the first house and the selection of the optimum, the price / quality ratio, the material for molding. With the price we determine when we choose the resin.
Perhaps the price is not too small, since the house consist of many parts. A trial batch is a set of ten. A further will depend on demand. These homes are suitable for the games in 28 mm, dioramas 1 / 48 for modellers of military vehicles. And cover a large time period from the end of XIX century until our days. I think the demand for these kits will be, so this trend will continue.
-
Awesome
-
OUTSTANDING! That will look brilliant painted up - Very nice work Michael; this is on my list to get now.
-
Actually small rural and city wooden temples look not so richly as it is considered to be. Here some photo of their real appearance.

I hope, that so ::)
It is necessary to adjust stable production only ;)

The one who wishes to learn more about this war, can get these books:
The Polish book in English language, is published in 2005.
Mainly it is a picture book with contemporary photos.
The text is a collection of contemporary people telling short stories about those days, actions and such
(http://s015.radikal.ru/i331/1011/2e/b60d451f29d2.jpg)
The year 1920. The War between Poland and Bolshevik Russia
Son of a... I bought a Polish version of this when in Krakow last October. The pictures are awesome but I don't read Polish at all.
-
:-* The church is an absolutely fabulous masterpiece. It must have been a lot of work to build it ...
-
Yesterday I received the church from the author. It's really an amazing building. o_o
The whole layout of buildings consists of almost one hundred items! Made interior. A removable roof, which will place the figures within the church and bell tower.
Perfectly simulated wood structure.
Burn with impatience to assemble and paint this "little miracle".
A small news item. I started to spread information on uniforms, history and organization of various military units during the Civil War in Russia on his forum. Look down there - maybe you can find out for myself something interesting.

Burn with impatience to assemble and paint this "little miracle".
I am "Burning with impatience"!!!

Looking forward to seeing the result, curpum.
Any news on making your product a bit more accessible by introducing more payment methods or creating partnerships?
-
So far only the following payment methods:
"Moneybookers" (optimal in cost, convenience and safety - this method of payment is allowed for payment on eBay); money transfer system "CONTACT"; money transfer system "Money Gram "; money transfer system "Migom"; money transfer system "Western Union"; direct bank transfer (very expensive way for transferring small amounts).
Choose any payment method from above.
It is a pity that PayPal in Russia not fully working. Does not want for some reason my former compatriot, the founder of this campaign, to give his countrymen, the Russians, the ability to fully trade with the rest of the world. >:( It is hoped that this situation will soon change.
Acceptable proposals from the Western businessmen I do not have. The problem, apparently, is that now I do not have enough merchandise to interested wholesale buyers.
But I'm working on it. Of course, everything happens for a long time, but for Russia it is a new activity. Ready-made solutions yet, hard to find the necessary people qualified enough.
-
For Europeans it is just as easy and secure to transfer money to Russia via Moneybookers. No reason not to use that system, when dealing with Cuprum. It is the cheapest method for both buyer and seller.
-
Cuprum, this church of yours is a masterpeace. I'll put my first order on when it is available. Congrats.
-
I thank you RAD.
I hope I will not keep you waiting long. :)
-
Hi all.
I have prepared a new set of figures "Artillery Basmachi".
(http://s014.radikal.ru/i329/1102/10/30aa2f4ab696.jpg)
More photos on my site: http://siberia-miniatures.ru/forum/showthread.php?tid=12&fid=26&block=0

Brilliant - I would buy one of those - any news on the Cavalry?
-
Way to go, cuprum! We are waiting eagerly over here for the release of these miniatures.
-
Very nice! I'm eager to see what you plan for the Whites.
-
Thank you for your appreciation!
These figures begin to mold this week.
Work on a set of horse Basmachi continue. It is now ready molds into three figures on horseback.
Work is going slowly - but I almost do everything for the first time, you will experience - the work done faster.
White, of course, there are also in the plans. But first Bassmachis, then the Poles. The rest later.
-
Have you thought about a distributor/ licensed producer outside of Russia? Maybe you should think about contacting Eureka, they might well be interested in casting your stuff and selling it for you. Just a suggestion.
-
Yes, of course.
But, unfortunately, quite interesting proposals have been received.
-
Hi cuprum
Do you have any release date for your buildings, polish figures etc
Thanks
David

Hi David.
(http://s50.radikal.ru/i128/1103/d1/9fbe83e28080.jpg)
Here are photos that I sent my caster from the resin. The first house was almost cast. But some large items not included in the casting chamber. Had to order a new casting chamber. As soon as its manufacture - the remaining parts will be cast and the house will go on sale.
From the Polish infantry problem. I fired a sculptor. Working with him was impossible because of its negligent attitude to work. Now I'm looking for a new sculptor, with whom I could continue the series of Poles.
Thank you
Michael

Good luck, cuprum. I am definitely a customer for that church.

If You say me how to order those Basmachis, I'll proceed.
How much should I wait?
Are that compatible (28mm/25mm?) with Perry, Brigade or Copplestone?
Thank You
Stefano

Hi Stefano.
Horse Bassmachis not yet ready, although the first few pieces are already cast in tin.
But it is completely ready kit "Artillery Basmachi. It remains only to paint the figures for the photo in the shop.
I think to do this in the upcoming holidays.

Thank You for Your Job.
Stefano
-
Yes, of course.
There will be more foot Bassmachis and stickmans (the peasant militia, badly armed). Will also be a light machine gun with crew.
Unfortunately I do not work very quickly and it's difficult to say when the entire series of figures will be finished.

Hi Stefano.
The first three horsemen will be ready for production next week.
By timing the appearance of the remaining pieces until just can not say anything.
Manufacturing figures - this is still my hobby. The bulk of my time absorbing the main work.

Ok, I think You'll hear me ordering some basmachi when their horses are ready.

Unfortunately, these buildings were very expensive in the casting resin. They hardly anyone will buy at that price.
Town house I would sell for around 150 USD. The church, accordingly, more expensive ...

This morning I've got my Basmachis from Mail Service ;D !!
Cool! Did you use moneybookers then?
-
Hi remington,
I used MoneyGram from Italy (national Mail service supports MoneyGram).
The miniatures arrived in few weeks, very well packed, every figure in a single plastic bag (useful because there are spare parts: arms, horses legs and soldiers heads; in this way You can obtain more combinations).
Stefano

Thank you for the reply and the hint! :) Enjoy your miniatures!

Those are some of most animated calvary models I've seen. :-*
Very nice, and full of life.

Looking good indeed :)

Those riders really are so beautifully dynamic. Looks like a sculpted study of a baroque or romantic painting.
Who's the Sculptor? Cuprum, is it you?

I've dared and bought some miniatures from cuprum a few weeks ago through Moneygram. The armoured car crew with their Austin Putilov arrived today in Germany after their long journey from Russia and I'm really pleased beyond words! Lovely work, cuprum, and worth every penny, well euro cent! Thank you!
Treat yourselves, lads. You won't be disappointed!

Those defenders are so good... such personality!

Here is the response of our colleagues, who knows better than me in matters of Polish uniforms:
Yes, "correct" uniforms for the mentioned regiments are a problem.
The only one, you can say anything detailed on, is the Russian Lithuanian-Belarusian Division (regiment) fighting for the Poles. They were uniformed as Russians, only little extra - which many of the Russians threw away - is the Polish eagle on the cockade.
http://siberia-miniatures.ru/forum/showthread.php?fid=12&tid=22
I have never seen any exact notes, on which regiment got exactly that piece of uniform on a special date. Most uniform descriptions are for the cavalry, while about the infantry roughly can be said:
the best clad regiments were those of Wielkopolska (the "Poznan" regiments, also Polnisches Wehrmacht). They were German grey. Especially early Germans, but all German figures, can be used with head swops to heads with rogatywka. Early period regatywka with the little side-decoration, the treffle, on the cap. But also rogatywka heads without the treffle can be used, as the treffle disappered over time.
http://siberia-miniatures.ru/forum/showthread.php?fid=12&tid=39
The regiments of Hallers Blue Army arrived in full French gear, only speciality is their type of rogatywka. But very soon the French uniforms were worn out, as the they were of very bad quality, and when depots of French uniforms had been used up, the uniform changes started. Many at first opportunity threw away their French helmets, which were of very bad quality too, the Italian ones were better.
Helmets were mostly worn by the elite companies, the machine-gun companies.
The only sure thing is, all the officers changed to the new 1919 distinction system around same date.
The figures can be used for almost all Poles with the different heads, thir collar can easily be changed by filing the wezyke away, another for legionaires painted on or red-white stripes of the WLKP regiments.
The Vilnius Rifle Regiment is also the 85 pp., The 85th Polish Infantry regiment. They are in over-coats with French or Italian helmets.

Separate 41 Suwalski Infantry Regiment 1919-1923, just call it 41 pp Suwalski.

1st company Sredzki is a local defense company. I do not know, if it later was amalgamated into a line regiment.

Guys, what size banners for the figures should be 28 mm? Or on what scale? Your preference?
-
It depends, on how you is going to offer the flags?
Is it as downloads, then people themselves can resize as they like.
If not, then I will suggest the original sizes, if known or guessed from contemporary pictures plus 10-20%.
-
Then, how best to sell them? How to download or printed on paper?

I would prefer a download myself. How about some Red Banners for Siberia!? The 24th Iron Division especially!

I still decided that I would make the banners that are needed to figure out my lines. Once upon a time there will be red ... ;)

That's no problem...I paint very slowly! lol 24th Samara-Ulyanovsk Iron Division, and 9th Rgt., 29th Rifle Division, 3rd Army especially would be nice, but I'm sure you have others as well.

I finished work on the horse Basmachi.
Another six riders - three ordinary warriors and command group: kurbashi, standard bearer and "NCO".
All riders are in the photo (and these figures, and is already sold), headwear (turbans and tyubeteika), which are characteristic for people the Emirate of Bukhara (Uzbeks, Tajiks). There are two separate sets of heads - in hats (Turkmens), in caps and hats - Kyrgyz & Kazakh. Headgear - the main differences in the costume of the Central Asian nations (the same coloring matter coats).

These are great, cuprum. I am so much looking forward to painting these basmachi with Turcoman heads. Incidentally, a friend on military attaché mission to Kazakstgan brought me back one of those traditional felt hats they apparently still wear casually. It looks a bit like a medieval Burgundian bard hat.
-
I have these Basmachi in "his own personal army" preparing to serve in the army of the Emir of Bukhara. Therefore, they will have hats and coats the color of the Uzbeks. It's pretty diverse, colorful and festive colors.
Turkmens have thin coats of red and yellow stripes in the main. And the big black (rare - white) fur papakhas.
The Kyrgyz often wear their caps and now - especially in rural areas and on public holidays:

Hi,
Finally my first Basmachi were painted (after Tons of other lead), the dinamics is eccelent.
The only problem was the alloy, a little bit fragile (and the horses legs are very thin) but I was able to repair them.
I'm very satisfied of the result, superb miniatures.

It would be interesting to see the painted figures. Will be a photo?
I must say that these figures are a bit bigger of the first set. They are perfectly combined with figures of Copplestone.

Siberia and Copplestone - my only finished. (so far).
I have to say Michael's been really great to deal with. Excellent response time and they were quickly posted off with a tracking number. A couple of points though. The package disappeared for a month in the Russian postal system with no tracking beyond the initial acceptance. It turned up in Russian customs about 4 weeks later and was tracked thereafter in great detail. Bit nerve wracking.
Moneybookers. I used it online (its a British company) with online banking. It was immediately blocked by my bank as the transaction went through the Irish republic (I assume for tax reasons) and was blocked as it was impossible for me to have been in two places at one as I'd used my card very shortly before that. Credit to my bank though I received an automated phone call asking for confirmation this was a legit transaction. I confirmed at it went through there and then. Lucky I was at home when I did it otherwise I'd have missed the call. Post Offices in the UK often offer Moneybookers though, so I mihgt just use that next time (and there will be a next time I promise you). I think it worked out at $90 US for 26 or 27 figures so not the cheapest but I do think they were worth it. Postage was $15 from memory. Great figures and fun to paint.

Thanks for the tip Campbell.
The figures look good. But you forgot to paint the blue collar badges on the collar. They may well decorate the figure.

The blue collar patch with wezyke (the white or silver zig-zac ornament) for infantry is first introduced from September 1919.
For further short information on Polish uniforms you can look at
siberia-miniatures.ru/forum/showthread.php?fid=12&tid=332
and
siberia-miniatures.ru/forum/showthread.php?fid=12&tid=331
The figures can almost be used for any unit using the different heads and the uniforms can be in almost any brown, grey or khaki tones.
Few units managed to get the new model 1919 uniforms unitil the war had ended, only the 1919 distinctions and unit markings were speedily introduced.

Great to see these women figures. Just the thing to game events from the excellent movie, Battle of Warsaw, 1920. Lots of good painting info there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DstyaGotWFM
This is a great plate for painting. Can you point us to the original source.
The women's legion figures seem to all be in a more standard flat top round peak cap. Will there be optional heads as shown in the picture. In the movie the women have flat peaked cap, low on head.
Now to just figure out how to order these figures.
-
The first illustration is from a Russian article on Polish uniforms in the period (You can find the article on the Siberia site).
The second is from Polish series of uniform postcards.
The third is an illustration from the internet booklet made in connection with the film Warsaw 1920, made after a contemporary bw photo.
The Kobietas were tried kept out of the hard fightings, but for instance when Gay Khan attacked with his cavalry corps in the North, they were put in and fought very bravely with heavy losses.
More heads? I am sure Khmorg is willing to make any loose Kobieta heads, he likes especially to make heads.
All the different Polish headdresses were worn by the Kobietas, as you can see from the pictures below.
(If it is too many pictures, just say so, and I will delete some.)

GREAT SET OF PHOTOS :o Thanks much for posting
Good news on the heads. I have an ulterior motive for wanting the hat in following picture as it is close to what the BUF women's group wore.

Amazing collection of photos. Really nice!
I'm wondering, the in the second-last picture, are those actual POWs, or are they POW camp guards? I can't tell if they're inside or outside the fence.
It looks like the camp buildings are on the other side of the fence, but I suppose the photo also could be just after a release.
-
The second last photo shows Polish female Legionaries at their barracks 1920.
So said the picture text.
Ochotnicza Legia Kobiet (OLK) -
The Voluntary Legion of Women was a voluntary Polish paramilitary organization, created by women in Lviv in late 1918. At that time possession of the city was contested by the Poles and Ukrainians, and women decided to assist the Polish soldiers in all possible ways, including fighting on the front line.
Creation of the Legion, as this was original name of the organization, is attributed to Major Aleksandra Zagórska, who was the commander of female couriers during the Polish–Ukrainian War. During the fighting, Zagórska lost her teenage son, 14-year old Jerzy Bitschan, who was killed by Ukrainian shells on the Lychakiv Cemetery, and about whom several songs were later written. Altogether, 66 Polish women died fighting in Lviv in late 1918.
During the Polish-Soviet War of 1919-1921, Ochotnicza Legia Kobiet, which grew to 2,500 members, helped the Polish Army in such places as Warsaw and Vilnius (from May 1919). In Vilnius, in mid-1920, Polish women under Wanda Gertz defended the city, facing the Mounted Corps of Gai Khan.
After the war, in 1923, the organization was dissolved. Five years later, members of the OLK created the organization Przysposobienie Wojskowe Kobiet (Women's Military Training").
(from Wikipedia)
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l484/ths3/Ochotnicza_Legia_Kobiet_1920_w_okopach_zps2a6b55b8.jpg) (http://s1120.photobucket.com/user/ths3/media/Ochotnicza_Legia_Kobiet_1920_w_okopach_zps2a6b55b8.jpg.html)
Kobietas ca. 1920
The abbreviation POW stands in Polish for Polska Organizacja Wojskowa (the POLISH MILITARY ORGANIZATION), which was a secret military organization created by Józef Piłsudski in August 1914, and officially named in November 1914, during World War I. Its tasks were to gather intelligence and sabotage the enemies of the Polish people. It was used by Piłsudski to create a body independent from his cautious Austro-Hungarian supporters, and it was an important, if somewhat lesser known, counterpart to the Polish Legions. Its targets included the Russian Empire in the early phase of the war, and the German Empire later. Its membership rose from a few hundred members in 1914 to over 30,000 in 1918. (from Wikipedia).
The POW was the backbone behind the Legion, recruiting, equipping and financing the Legion and later the uprisings 1918.
It did not shy away for political sabotage, robberies and murders, so for instance the killing of the German police Chief in Warsaw.
It was not a counterpart, as written on Wikipedia, to the Legion, quite contrary.
-
Ah, so POW refers to something entirely different in Polish.
Very interesting!

Hi, Cuprum.
I have sent you an small order (it has been impossible for me to resist your models!) but I need to send it again, with Moneybookers (I don´t like the conditions of the other company I had chosen in the first place...).
Very nice models; I´m awaiting your reds and, perhaps, some Central Asia tribes?
Cheers!

Thanks Cuprum ;)
Polish Cavalry turned up today :D
Do you have any coloured pictures or painting uniform guide for these figures ?
Cheers
David
-
The figures are intended mainly for the early period of 1918-1920, the fightings for the borderlands.
There is no specific colour guides for this period,
The uniform shown is the much loved, late Austrian cavalry uniform with the typical maciejowka, the little Polish cap very often worn by units with links to the former Legion, which mainly was recruited in, financed and organized from the Galician areas, the former Austrian part of Poland. So also the horse equipment and other equipment are also former Austrian.
Colours?
Look at late Austrian cavalry uniforms and you will find many different field colours, brownish, greyish, old pike-grey with a lightblue tinge (old Legion) or brown or grey with a greenish tinge.
The officers are very often seen in the early, dark blue Attila with black fur.
The only consistent colour would be the coloured cap-band in a bright unit colour, if such a band is wanted.
Until Budionny and Gai khan attacked, the Polish only has small cavalry units, used for reconnaissance, screening, outpost and liaison service, it was not used as battle cavalry as later.
The riders will fit Calpe horses, if you want special poses.
-
T.S. all well described, but also used English khaki uniform with cavalry jacket Austrian sample.
(http://s020.radikal.ru/i713/1406/59/daa972fe90ab.jpg)
Poles served in the Austro-Hungarian army, mostly in the Ulan regiment. Therefore, the majority of jackets in the figures - Uhlan samplebut there are hussar.

Here are some more pictures of Poles in the Austrian cavalry uniform.
As can be seen, almost any colour combination goes.
With some head swaps, yet more colour variations and different units are possible.
As said before, the Polish uniforms 1917-1921 are not for the button counters, but the are certainly colourful and varied, not least the mounted troops.
(http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l484/ths3/polish%20cavalry%20-%20austrian%20attilas/off1920_zpsb8b9c765.jpg) (http://s1120.photobucket.com/user/ths3/media/polish%20cavalry%20-%20austrian%20attilas/off1920_zpsb8b9c765.jpg.html)
The officer far left seems to wear the old red Austrian off-duty cap. The picture is taken after the Regulations 1919 were introduced, as the officer far right has the rabk distinction stars on the cap band.

A very characteristic contemporary photo, which must be dated late 1919-early 1920, if I remember correctly from the eastern part of southern Poland.
It seems to show a little battle group getting ready for a parade showing off a just captured red colour.
In front the few officers of the staff, then a little cavalry detachment and in the background the main weapon, the infantry seemingly not very well uniformed.

The many bright coloured cap bands were a serious problem, giving many head wounds, but the cavalry would rather be hit than abandon the regimental cap bands.

Earlier than the 1919 regulations, as he wears his wezyke, the white/silver Polish "snake-band" following the upper edge, meaning he has not been fought in the former Legion. Later all wore the wezyke "Legion-style".

Great
Just order some of these great looking figures :D
now all I need to complete my army is the artillery ;)
-
Yes, I think about it ;)
-
Beautiful as always!
-
What is still missing?
Foot and Horse Artillery.
Forward artillery observers.
Adjutants and staff-officers working and mounted.
Late cavalry with English caps.
Boy Scouts.
Priests.
Eventually Tatars in parade uniforms, even if they did not fight in those.
The rest and many other Poles can be made by head-swops to early and late Germans, Austrian and Russians from other series.
Next some Ukrainians from the Hetmanate, Russian personalities and Red Russians.
Eventually some cavalry officers and trumpeters to the Copplestone cavalry.
-
How late in the interwar period would those uniforms be good for? For instance, could one use any of those Polish generals for games in the 1930's? Rydz-Śmigły and Dowbor-Muśnicki seem like they would work fine up to WWII (and of course the Marshal himself stuck around for a good long while), but I'm no expert in Polish uniforms!
-
Alas. I'm not was interested Polish uniforms for a period after 1920 ...
-
The 1919 khaki uniform is almost the same as the 1939 uniform.
The main difference is the cap, the rogatywka 1939 is smaller and more soft with a normally stiff top lid.
Also 1939 the Poles had their own helmet, very much i use.
Weapons in 1939 are more standardized and more modern.
So get made some 1939 heads, make som head swops and you will be ok with many of the 1919 figures.
But as Cuprum says, this is a 1917-1921 project, which when it comes to uniforms and way of fighting, is much more interesting than 1939 and WWII.
1917-1921 is not big "Materialschlachten" with big formations, but revolution, many small actions with very limited forces, mainly infantry with lots of machine-gunshand very close up artillery support. It was not so much about mass-killings like on the Western Front, quite simply as neither of the parties had forces nor equipment for such. Instead it was like the fightings between the Reds and Whites, fightings over big distances, each part trying to turn the others flanks and getting the enemy on on the run, eventually supported by violent attacks straight on the enemy front.
-
It's okay. I understand you guys are making this for 1919-20 and not for anything else and that that is a more interesting war to game. I was just trying to figure out if the figures could be used for multiple purposes. :)
In my case, I am playing mid-1930's pulp, with a fair amount of the games being in the BoB, but they will be all over the globe as well. I wouldn't be gaming many full-scale battles, if any, but maybe a Polish general has a secret mission for our heroes or needs rescuing. Things like that.
-
Poles in Pulp 30ies?
Poles are perfect for that.
No lost revolution or political scrabble without fiery Poles - all over the world.
So it had been since at least 1794 or so.
I am quite sure, an old Polish "Poznan" general with some old buddies in their old (German) grey uniforms and right wing morals will be suitable for many roles - bad or good.
A bunch of social-democrat-socialist Hallerists in French uniforms are neither wrong.
A bunch of Pilsudski left-wing legionaries in old Austrian pike-grey - light blue-grey Austrian uniforms - the cavalry with high Napoleonic chapkas - also certainly would be impressive.
Pilsudski hardhanded legionaries in 1919 khakis are neither bad for old dreamers.
Or how about a bunch of female Polish "kobietas", strong-minded, but very feminine with machine-guns et al, fighting for - almost even rights, but still demanding a man being a man with all his faults. Of course always crying about all the faults of men, but...
Take your pick, Poles for Pulp are perfect.
Mad perhaps, but in a nice and always interesting way.
Not least Polish girls :)
-
That's loads of good ideas. Thanks!
I already have one league planned with a Polish leader, a veteran of the 1919-20 war who has become a Lovecraft-type esoteric investigator and teacher.

-
Any chance of some Polish lancers?
-
You can use the figure of a standard bearer, arming his lance.
I have no problem selling you any figures on the choice of the line of the Poles.

These figures are for the early period, The Border Wars, lances were used, but primary it was infantry on horses, fighting on foot if possible.
The large cavalry formations came later, also the more typical lancer. Such figures are being sculpted, men in the so-called "French"-jacket (English jacket) and with English caps - eventually with enlarged peak.
For then Poznan cavalry, you can use early German lancers with a head swap. Same goes for Poznan and Wielkopolska infantry, early German infantry with head swaps.
The mounted figures are made to fit Calpe horses.

Now preparing for the release:
- The second part of the set of "Assault on manor"
- machinegunners plastuns
- Red infantry
- Red Cavalry
- Bukhara guards regiment "Sherbacha"
Unfortunately, at this summer working on figures a bit dragged on since I by yourself build himself a small country house. It takes a lot of time.
-
Really looking forward to see these Cuprum!

-
Yes cant wait to see your Poles
-
Received my Orthodox priest, very quickly and in excellent packaging. The figure is even better in hand than in the picture.
I'll be watching this range for more goodness.

Please note that some of the figures have a portrait likeness ;)
On an accordion played by Mr Putin (the current president of Russia), and is dancing in the image of the soldier-deserter - Mr. Medvedev (Russian Prime Minister). With the thill in his hands - the former president of Ukraine Yanukovich, in the image of a beekeeper with a gun - former Ukrainian President Yushchenko. In the image of a Greek smuggler - Turkish Prime Minister Mr. Erdogan. Two soldiers carrying the a banner - Mr Barroso (former President of the European Commission) and Mr A. Scargill (British trade union and political activist). In the image of a rural teacher-bolshevik - Yulia Tymoshenko.
-
Cheeky, I like your little slip in of the odd politico :D
-
Oh my word this is your best set yet.
The characters and likenesses and sculpting are just incredible.
-
Ye gods I wish I gamed in 28mm, Cuprum, that last lot of figures-what can I say-FAB-U-LUS! The boy with the bear-sheer genius.
-
I have to confess this is not my idea - I just cast figurines and sell.
Boy Leading a bear symbolizes Russia, which the young Revolution lead into the unknown... ;)
-
Well please pass my admiration on to the creator.
Yes, the bear symbolism-I like it...'beware, who knows what it might devour'!

Looking forward to deploying some (all) of them at the next Big Game in H'ford.

At appeared on sale car drivers. There are 4 figures of the "red" (one figure can be used as "white" - you only need to make the shoulder straps). And the four figurines of Poles. In sale there ride on the car enamored couple in civilian clothes.

What... no helmets? And unless it's hidden under their clothing, they don't appear to be wearing any metal body protection. That would surely make them an unarmoured enamoured couple.
-
great figures.

I particularly like the bugler.

Makes one wonder what the Polish translation of dib, dib, dob is. Or woggle or bob-a-job. Maybe it's Wocl.
Did they earn merit badges for shooting bolsheviks?
-
Maybe. Those who managed to survive ;)
Here is a trailer for the film "The Battle of Warsaw 1920". In it you will see Boy Scouts in battle. Also, by the way, you can see and female legionnaires, which are also in my assortment.

A good idea. I probably should make a brief reference for the uniform, which had military units to use these banners.
Example of using my banners:

Amazing sculps :-*
Apart from the pointy hats, what determines them as Red infantry? Could they be used for WW1?

Love the flags and miniatures.

Thank you all for your feedback!

Unfortunately, these figures are not suitable for the period of the First World War. At least - without significant refinement of some of them. The officers are dressed in leather jackets, which is typical of the Bolsheviks, but not for the officers of the Imperial Army. In addition, they have a "red commander's sign" on their chests. Most of the caps in the set have a picture of a cockade-star, and a fur hat-ribbon (should be red), which determines their belonging to the Bolsheviks. Figures have insufficient equipment for the war, which is characteristic of the civil war in which all sides lacked weapons and equipment.. Figures do not have sapper shovels, flasks, bowlers, two figures are dressed in shoes made from wooden strips - bast shoes.

I understood everything else, but what did you mean by 'bowlers'? Helmets?
In English a 'bowler' means this type of hat:

-
Perhaps this name is this headpiece and became the source for the designation of kitchen utensils for the soldier? There are some similarities in shape. Who knows...

-
Yes, the shape is similar, which is probably the origin. Soldiers love nicknaming things, after all. :D
Makes sense now!
-
The first British steel helmets were known as "battle bowlers" I seem to recall.
-
Yes, which is why I thought of helmets. Interesting that it turned out to be mess kit!
-
Bowlers, as in Bowls or 'Boilers' ?

I have on sale new miniatures from Russian company "Beloye Delo" the 28 mm (Figures of the Red Army - in collaboration with the company STP-miniatures).
Regular infantry of the Red Army in uniform M1919. The figures are suitable for the last stage of the Civil War in Russia and for the Soviet-Polish War. 1920-21 years.

A gun with a crew in the same uniform (in resin).
(http://c.radikal.ru/c25/2001/61/d8a6424c4518.jpg)
Officer company of the Kornilov shock regiment. Figures are made in real proportions (!). Not compatible with the figures of most manufacturers for this period, but perfectly detailed.
(http://d.radikal.ru/d24/2001/29/64557f5ab6ee.jpg)
The catalog and prices can be seen here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1216KW1P3IbJRHOBmYX60mgKM2hQSFwHu?usp=sharing

What scale are the Kornilov officers in? They seem very finely detailed for 28-30mm.
-
28 mm. But, as the manufacturer said, these same figures are planned to be released on a large scale (1/35 or 1/32).

Very nice! here's hoping that one day there will be some suitable winter clad soldiers for the Russo-Finnish War.
-
The Russian overcoat has not changed in cut since the end of the 19th century (not counting the very brief appearance of caftans of the 1919 model, which quickly disappeared from army use). In order to get a soldier for the Finnish War, you just need to replace the head in a cap with earflaps from the WW2 period with a head in a Budennovka (late model).
-
Hoping for greatcoats and 1936 pattern helmet. Yes, you are right, head swaps are a possible solution but it has always surprised me that nobody has made decent, dedicated Soviet figures for this war in 28mm*. There are some rather nice Winter War Finns out there.
* There is a range of dedicated Red Army Winter War figures but they are quite grotesque sculpts.
-
In overcoats, only the color of the material, the number of buttons and the length changed. But not the general appearance.
Let's hope that someday there will be decent figures on this topic)))
