Sculpted by Sergey Savenkov

Tartar Miniatures recently released their Blackfoot Indian in 1/20th scale resin. Sculpted by Sergey Savenkov, a rising sculptor I have followed since his first attempts, he has achieved some amazing detail in his Blackfoot Indian.

The bust arrived in a thin plastic box with the kit parts sealed inside a zip-lok bag. The bottom photograph shows the 3 parts of this kit.

Above you see various views from all angles showing the attention to detail Sergey has achieved in his sculpting. You can also see pre-drilled holes on each side of the war-bonnet for location of the Buffalo horns.

Conclusion:
The Box Art painter, Sergey Popovichenko took the liberty of adding the horse hair tuffs at the top of the horns. These do not come with the kit. I find the casting to be very clean with no flash or seams to be removed. Excellent kit and highly recommended.
