Hi All,
I just wanted to give a massive thumbs up and shout out for Aleksey Buriak - Silver Dream Studio's from St Petersburg. I contacted Aleksey and asked him to make me 30 patterns in metal from my specification, his work is absolutely top notch and I would have no reservations in recommending his metal weapons.

To me it looks like they are machined in stainless steel, the photo's do not do justice these 54mm parts.

Bravo Aleksey, you Russian lads in producing, painting, sculpting and casting are setting some really high bars to follow. A true artisan. It would have taken me ages to make these.
cheers

Very nice Ritchie.
Being a bit curious could I ask what sort of information you sent Aleksey and his team to work from ?

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul,
Good quality photo and sizes, and then left the rest to him.
Cheers

One of the biggest errors seen in scale modelling is oversize weaponry, and (in model ships) oversize cordage. The above photos show what appears to be a true scale appearance.
