Шикарный шикардос! Снимаю шляпу! Даже не передашь все эмоции на английком. Такого качества лепки на ренессанс нет ни у кого. Я точно впишусь в этот проект. Урал за Вас. А кстати стяг будет литой или это просто для образца?

[marco55]

These look  great.👍

All the admiration I address sculptor who worked on this project. It's really a very good job;)

The banner will not be cast with the figure. For this project, paper banners will be made.
However, it is not very difficult to make the very banner itself, as in the photo. You need to cut the canvas of the flag from the "tinned can" (for example from coffee), solder it to the shaft and curl it properly. Then you can even stick a paper flag field.

Getting back to the sculpts while they are great looking sculpts we need more fighting poses.I know the range is just starting but I would like to see Yermak in a fighting pose without armor as he really didn't get the armor until after some great victories.

Ermak had fine armor from the very beginning (like all other Cossacks). From Ivan the Terrible he received only one more chain armor as a reward.
Here is a photo of this chain armor that is now stored in the museum:



I repeat - on the photo the gift of Ivan the Terrible for Ermak

Thanks for educating me on all this.

Ready to answer any of your questions. I understand that in English there is little information on this topic, and it is not always reliable.

I would like to invite my colleague Andrei1975 to tell you about the main battles of the Ermak detachment, which can help create historical scenarios for games. I do not have enough time for this work yet.

[marco55]

I want to thank you guys because without you and Andrei we would have almost nothing accurate about this subject.All the best.

Personally, I always make paper flags for my armies. By the way, if the series will go in addition to miniatures and flags, it will be great. By the way, as an advertisement I can all advise the flags that Cuprum does. I myself bought it German flags for the Great War-was simply delighted with the quality.

Thank you for appreciating my products)

But I make flags, basically, only to figures which I make or which I trade. Or, sometimes, at the request of my friends and acquaintances.
