Russo-Japanese War: First Russian greens from Tsuba Miniatures

[Maichus]

Here's the announced comparison with some Copplestone Casings' BoB Russians (and also a Musketeer miniatures' WWI Scot):

Looks like they'll fit right in! I'd buy a whole battalion of them if I had the money to spare right now.

Wow, the kneeling Copplestone looks huge even against the russian miniature, but looks fine when standing up, is it really that much difference, or is it the photo?

[Maichus]

It is that much, but that's due to the kneeling Copplestone mini being quite big guy in its own right. 



He's nearly up to the shoulder of his standing comrade.

[tomek917]

Yeah, he must be a yeti of some sort.

Anyway, I love the Tsuba miniatures, must find time and money to get some...

Yes, I wouldn't deem the kneeling partisan representative of the rest of his pack. Much as I love Mark Copplestone's sculpts, he is not very consistent in the scaling of his figures. Some of the worst offenders in that respect were the ones Mark did some seven or eight years ago when he experienced some eyesight problems which forced him to increase the size of his sculpts (the BoB British infantry in Wolseley helmets are notoriously huge). The scale creep factor is also evident within the Bolshevik range : the earlier Red Army infantrymen are shorter and slimmer than the sailors, for instance.

Back to Tsuba Miniatures, I'd say from the comparison pic they should be quite compatible with the Musketeer and Brigade Game Russians, who are the same size are the original Copplestone Bolsheviks.
