Old Glory 28mm WWI Russians

Where can I find photos of WWI Old Glory Russians?

I think the warweb might have them.  Here is the link;

Alas not. I have seen some photos of the inf, can't recall where, maybe the OG website. Generally better than OG's usual dross was my overall impression.

Unfortunately, the older OG Website (oldgloryminiatures.com) does have photos of most of their WW1 figs, but not of the Russians. I would agree with Carlos that they are slightly better than the standard OG castings, but I'm not sure if they're worth it, to be honest, as a friend advises me that even these are covered with loads of flash and far too much work to be worth it.

That said, some of their WW1 figs are really quite nice, by OG standards, honestly. And your mileage may vary. Fortunately, as the Russian uniform did not vary dramatically during the course of the war, there are a few Russian ranges worth investigation beyond Old Glory. Musketeer does some beautiful stuff, for instance, and the old Battle Honors Russians weren't too bad.

Unfortunately, very few options exist for the Russians on the Western Front, who wore Adrian helmets. Hopefully that will eventually be sorted.

OG's artillery pieces are very good and a reasonable bargain and they do some odd vignette pieces which are otherwise unobtainable but on the whole.....  

I do love the way OG's sculptor has taken Kirsty Alley as his muse when it comes to sculpting puttee clad calves. (that's Kirsty after falling off the Jenny Craig/Fat Fighters wagon).

Here you go, I took a snapshot of some of the ones I have. These are definately some of the better OG sculpts. They look well beside the Copplestone stuff

Thank you. The great coated versions seem better than the summer kit ones. Something about the hats on the latter that make them looked like armed bus drivers.
