Title: [Tsuba Miniatures] New Russo-Japanese War sets
Post by: Maichus on November 26, 2017, 03:35:33 PM
Six new sets of miniatures for the Russo-Japanese War are available and filling three major gaps in the range (Japanese artillery, Russian HMG and Russian High Command) and one set, which might be of interest for diorama builders (Russian Military Band).
PLEASE NOTE: The Japanese artillery crews are sold separately from the gun!

All the miniatures were scuplted by Paul Hicks with the exception of the masters of the Russian HMG and the Japanese mountain gun, which were built be eBob.

For an update on the Russian cavalry, please scroll to the end of this post.

But first the new sets (please excuse the not-so-great photos):

Excellent stuff indeed. And it's nice to see you are back to selling your miniatures as it's much cheaper for continental European customers to buy them direct from you, especially when it comes to postage. I'll be placing an order for more Russians come late January.
