SYW Russian Battalion Guns

[Extrabio1947]

Does anybody make the unique SYW Russian battalion gun in 28mm?  This is the 3 pounder with the two small mortars mounted on the carriage.  The trail was split, looking a bit like a galloper gun.

I understand an Austrian firm - Diez - makes them, but I can’t find a source.  I did look at Berlin Zinnfiguren which carries Diez products, but I couldn’t find this particular model.

Any help would be appreciated.

That’s wonderful, Leon.  Thank you.

The model is stunning.  But I don’t see where they ship to the US.  The billing/shipping alternatives seem to be only Russia and the UK.

I can ask the site owners if they get these models from the manufacturer and how they implement them.

This is the site owner's mail. His name is Dmitry. He is ready to send you this gun.

Thank you again, Leon.  I owe you one.

I have sent Dimitry an email.  I hope a purchase is possible.  These models are amazing.

I hope you succeed. Happy to help.

I sent Dimitry an email about a week ago, but he never replied.  I’m not sure if he actually received it or not, but Gmail indicated a successful “send.”

It’s a shame.  I would have paid twice the asking price for the models.  They are truly exquisite castings.

Again, thank you for your help, Leon.

Dmitry promised to answer your letter today.

I had one made years and years ago by Dave Hoyle when I was working on a project. It is considerably chunkier than the one produced by Dmitry - which is a beautiful, elegant model by the way - and a great chap to boot! -

I am not sure where the master and production moulds got to - although I could probably find out. Otherwise if there were enough demand I could investigate getting one of the castings I have copied by sweet talking Graham of Crann Tara for example.

It might just be a bit too chunky for many tastes.
