    Yes, a nice figure.

    Mike Blank did one very similar a few years ago for FeR Miniatures, as one of a handful of pieces (four if memory serves) that he sculpted for them for his "signature range" under their banner.

    When Mike and FeR parted company (amicably as far as I understand), those Mike Blank masters & rights ended up with Steve Kirtley, who then re-released them as part of his own SK range.

    I said "very similar". Not "the same".

    The viewer can decide. But to my eye, it's close enough for rock & roll ....

    Maybe they were both inspired by a particular illustration? Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

    Disagree..we are all sensitive to copyright and recasting, but the pose is pretty generic.

    Two points: 1. the OlimpYa figure is not very original; 2. Mike Blank is not a Brit

    This is an old SGF Soldiers figure, purchased by the Fortezza and we at OlimpYa Models have taken over all the copyrights LA FORTEZZA + EMI for more than 1 year
    This is not a recast, but a new production so as not to let some beautiful pieces die.
