I came across the following two sets of sculpts by Alexander Zelenkov (whom figure aficionados may recognise having released 2 1/9 scale busts through The Body) on diorama.ru.

One has to admit these, the first set in particular, are truly original poses. (click the links to see the photos/sculptures' pages)

p.s. I'm guessing no sooner do I post that someone tell's me it's already been released

Hi

Yes they are excellent sculpts and I've followed his work quite a bit. alot of it is shown on the Russian Diorama site

Hopefully more and more of his figures will become commercially available.

How can we buy them? Does he speak English and take PayPal?

Hi Jose

AFAIK these aren't commercially available at the moment - let's hope they do become available though

Rudi

nice looking figures

Hi Rudi,

Thanks for the link, excellent.

I agree,with you.Why does`nt somebody offer him a job ?.

That is some real good figure work. Completely origional poses. I do have one comment though.... the guy all the way on the left kind of looks trollish or something...the head looks too big.
Maybe I shouldn't criticize because I can't do anything that good, and I still think they llok great, but that one head just looks off to me.

Guys,..
this man is good!.....l hope that some company see's him right in the market place, the three blokes in the bottom of the trench, people will love them....

great stuff..Phil.....
