1/30 Russischer Musketier 1786

Hello,

today I have another test print of a 1/30 scale figure for you.

This time it's another Russian, but this one is from a few years earlier than the musketeer I presented last time. This figure wears the Russian Potemkin uniform and can be dated between 1786 and 1796. If you read up a bit on this uniform system, which seemed modern for its time, you'll realize that it wasn't nearly as standardized as some uniform books would have us believe. In fact, there were far more variations in shapes and colors than we can even imagine today. Anyway, I have the idea of ​​adding a few of these "exotics" to my collection, ideally in the different uniform colors of the various branches of the armed forces that existed back then. To my knowledge, the only manufacturer that offers such 3D print files is "Kozak Miniatures." They're currently offering a 25% discount at wargaming3d, so I couldn't resist getting a sample set and printing a test figure for working on a painting scheme.

The figure is again upscaled from 1/72 to 1/30 scale. Since it's slightly larger than the musketeer from 1812, a 220% magnification is sufficient this time.

Best regards,

Andreas
