Once again, proving their penchant for innovative selection, MiniArt introduces 1:16 scale historical figures… a collection never before available in plastic. The series covers periods from classical antiquity through medieval times, and up through the 20th century. Warriors from these tumultuous eras include foot soldiers from the Middle Ages, Praetorian Guardsmen from the 2nd century, Athenian and Spartan Hoplites (heavily armed infantry soldiers) from the 5th century B.C., 15th century knights in armor, and Napoleonic grenadiers as well as early 20th century Russian Cuirassiers, and more. Historically perfect, each figure has been meticulously researched as to armor, weapons, shields and dress of the times. From the facial expressions through the multitude of varied poses, each figure is anatomically correct. The directions will lead you through the finishing touch of painting, which will bring these warriors to life.
