Title: Crimean Russian Ranges in 28mm?
Post by: Shipka on August 30, 2016, 11:21:01 AM

I am seeking Crimean Russian figures with full length greatcoats in 28mm, I am aware of ranges by Foundry, Ebor and Great War Miniatures......there are figs by Brittania but these are too cartoony.
Does anyone know of any other figure ranges either coming or in existence

The old 30mm Willies are stunning figures and with today's "scale creep", fit right in perfectly with lines such as Great War.

I need Russians with the really long greatcoats to use for 1849

In the third photo you can see, on the extreme left, the back of a Foundry drummer.  I placed him on a penny prior to being mounted with the other figures and you can see that he does not look out of place with the "30mm" figures.

My mistake.  They are actually Tradition figures.

I looked at the Ebor miniatures but unfort I need ones where the coat reaches the floor, so will order up a couple of Tradition ones to check out scale

Thank you f o r the heads up on the Tradition Russians. They look great and will have to add some to my collection.  Do they do artillery gunners and cavalry?

They do have Russian artillery (gunners), but no cavalry.
