The bust was modeled by Steve Leadley.
This figure was taken from a beautiful illustration on the Osprey Man at Arms # 364 "The Russian Army 1914-18"
It is a good figure, it consists of five pieces and is quick to assemble. Excellent print quality, I did not use putty during assembly.
He is a fun figure to paint because we can use different techniques to simulate finishes such as the heavy uniform cloth and the light duster cloth, the felt of the officer cap, the leather of the pistol holster and binocular case and a torch.
As usual I painted this figure using acrylic and oil paints.
A rather crumpled ‘duster’ coat is worn to protect the uniform; this pod-polkovnlk has attached his shoulder boards of rank to this. Wearing medals was obligatory, even in combat; this officer has the Order of St. Anne 3rd Class with Swords.
You can also see some real examples of uniform details.
