Wow! Really nice! Agreed it would be nice to have some more dynamic poses on some of the figures.

Hi guys.
I have no experience of using sailing ships in the game ... What is the best way to make a mast on a boat? Resin or metal? The resin seems to me not strong enough, and metal - it is too flexible. Or can you just put two pieces of, for example, a copper wire of the right diameter into the kit?
Is Sail need?

Hi !

The best way is platic tube (Evergreen or Plastruc, i prefer Plastruc because it's more solid)

if you can't , the best is , i don't know the term in english language ? , the wood stick used to get plants straigh !

Sail is important if no rowers, if rowers then in fight , the sails are not used ! And then it's less important to have sails with the kit ...

Thank you!

I forgot to write. The diameter of the mast is only 4 mm (bottom), up to 2 - at the top. And the crossbar - 2 mm. You can increase the thickness - but it will look rough.

I'm for metal. It will be more reliable. And if there are rowers, then there is no need to dismiss the sail.

The most battle-worthy soldiers in the army of Khan Kuchum were Uzbeks, Kazakhs and Nogays who came with him. Here's a sample from the armament:

The last four drawings are not related to the Siberian Khanate - they are Kazakhs, Bukharans, Uzbeks, Tajiks. Warriors of Central Asia. A lot of similarities - but it was not them)))
Most importantly - the Siberians did not use the protection of the horse.

[cuprum]

I am wrong. As part of the troops of Kuchum were about 2-3 thousand warriors - Uzbeks, Nogais, Kazakhs and Kazan Tatars. They were the so-called "Nogai Guard" khan Kuchum. And these were heavily armed warriors.

[Andrei1975]

That's it. I had them in mind. Here are some more drawings to create images:

And even in the development of the topic, it may be worthwhile to think about whether it is worth putting some of Ermak's people in local clothes, as in this figure. After all, there were difficult wintering and the Russians quickly assessed the quality of local fur garments.
