Oh, now it clears up ..., thanks for the explanation  :)

As a (once) professional sculptor of miniatures myself I think I'm able to recognize if someone is a talented sculptor or not. And Scibor is a gifted one! I don't know if he had done some copyright violations or not in the past, but the four "Prussian Ogres" are definitely sculpted in Greenstuff with added weapons etc. built from polystyrol plastic.

And, looking through his tutorials, he has a very clever approach to design complicated patterns from greenstuff. That is also his own invention, as far as I can see it.

Anyway, as soon as all four ogres are available, I'll order them. They are just too good  :-*

Oh hey, white knight, you just reminded me. I think that's why I stopped looking at his stuff those bunch of years ago. Wasn't too impressed when I found out what he had been up to. He got into crap for press molding his conversions(replicants, so in a sense not-so-mass-produced) and selling them on ebay and what-not. He's cleaned his act up though.

...
would suit the 40K styled prussians that are available from a german mini company whose name escapes me.

I think you're thinking about these:

Great fabric and great metal. The breastplate looks fantastic.

After seeing the coolminiornot link they don;t really come up that well painted. Or maybe the paintjob was just... lacking.
