1/30 Russischer Musketier Trommler

Hello,

here is another test print of a Russian musketeer from 1812. This time it's a figure by Eugene Smichnik. 

Several older figures by this Russian sculptor can be found at wargaming3d. Most of his figures are designed for 28mm scale and are very caricatured (huge heads and hands). However, there is also a series of 1/72 scale figures, including a "sample pack" with three different Russians in Kiev shakos for just a few cents. This musketeer drummer in an overcoat comes from this sample pack. The cloak looks a bit "added on" here; I prefer the Kozak figures in overcoats. However, the figures are well-proportioned, so I think these two manufacturers could complement each other well.

Smichnik also produces some real gems, such as a complete military band, rather fierce-looking Russians in lighter marching gear with field caps, and even cuirassiers waiting before an attack. Despite all the excitement, I must also mention that these figures are all relatively expensive with 3 Euro per foot and about 5 Euro per mounted figure stl files.

Best regards,

Andreas
