The Russian Militia set was another one of those sets which were expanded during the double-set run. The set started off with 7 poses. Another 9 poses were added to make a set with 17 poses (different sculptors and size of master figures) and 25 impressions in the mold. The 17 figures are: 1 Petersburg Officer 1 Cossack of Nizegorodsk or Pensa Militiaman with pick in flat czapka 2 Cossacks of Nizegorodsk or Pensa Militia [in tall czapkas] 3 Moscov Militiamen 3 Petersburg or Ryazan or Kazan or Tula shooters [in flat caps] 3 Shooters from Moscov or Wladimirsk Militia [in cossack long cap] 4 Petersburg Militiamen There were a lot of picture resources And from that and other resources a series of sketches were made. Some pictures of master figures Sizing Test shot Correction test shots Some painted examples By BOKI Andrés Galindo Julio Lahoz Peter Styk Thomas Willers Sketch to finish: I hope you have enjoyed this little look-back!

This is underrated set it has great poses is an army in a box & makes up a great looking unit its a bit hard to find these days & needs restocking. Agreed on all points. This is a very, very good set with natural poses in a variety and good details. Also these figures are perfect for many conversions making them rather unique. Russian militia played a more important role than most books will admit of; they drained resources of the French leading to their eventual defeat. They can also make good partisans for attacks behind the front lines. My compliments to HaT and to the artists who created this excellent set.
