Just got the book "Russia's Protectorates in Central Asia"and was wondering if anybody collects Askari Miniatures Russian figures and what do you think of them?

Hello, Marco

There's some helpful info in this thread from (wow...) 9 years ago!  http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=13942.15

I have Russians for Central Asia from Askari, Outpost and Eureka Miniatures, photos in the thread above.  (Eureka and Outpost are re-purposed Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878 version) figures.  In my opinion, the Eureka figures are the prettiest; Askari are a bit rough around the edges.  However Askari provides artillery and cavalry as well as infantry.

chicklewis:
I really like my Askari Central Asian Russian figures.  I painted them up quite a few years ago, and they look well once painted. 

I painted their red pants a little bit too 'pink' and want to repaint those pants a darker red, but never seem to get around to it. 

Romark:
I use Perry Minis ACW for my "what if" campaigns,not for the purists though , but may be worth considering?
