Responsibility details are not available.
A set of unassembled plastic figures in 1:72 scale from the brand MARS Model. In its theme it follows on from the wider line of historical figures that this maker has long built around central and eastern Europe of the early modern period. The figures are intended to complete dioramas, to make historical formations on a base and for tabletop games in this scale. The number of figures, the number of poses and the way they are molded are not stated here.
The middle of the 17th century was a period in the eastern part of Europe when numerous hired units operated alongside the standing forces. Their equipment was incongruous: it combined elements of local dress, captured pieces and simpler protective items. It is precisely that variety that is interesting for a modeler: in one formation it is possible to work with very different colorings of cloth, leather and metal without it looking out of place. Thanks to that, the set can be used as an accessory to other historical collections of the same scale as well.
First look the figures over against the light and remove the parting lines of the mold; in 1:72 scale a fine burr at the edge of a cloak or along a barrel is more visible than it would seem. Use a sharp scalpel and a fine abrasive file, and go carefully on the thin parts. Degrease the figures before painting and apply a thin base coat, ideally sprayed, so that the details of the face are not filled. Paint from the top down and from the large surfaces to the small things. It proves worthwhile to lay down a base tone, let a darker wash run into the folds and then bring out the tops with a dry brush or a glaze. Faces and hands are enough worked out with three tones at this scale. At the end, unify the whole formation with a matte varnish, which also protects the paint during handling.
The figures are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
