About product

Moscow infantry (ratniki), 16th century, 2nd set, 1:72 (Red Box)

A set of figures in 1:72 scale from the maker Red Box, the second package of the numbered line of 16th century Moscow infantry. The point of a second set lies in expansion; with mass scenes one small box is not bought but several, and numbered sets on the same theme follow on from one another.

The real subject

The foot elements of the Muscovite state in the 16th century. The dress built on the period clothing of Eastern Europe: a long outer coat, a belt, a soft head covering. The armament was predominantly melee weapons and polearms, the protection of the body partial. Uniform patterns of dress did not exist at this time.

Scale and the variety of silhouettes

At 1:72 scale a viewer tells the individual figures apart practically only by the outline: the stance, the lean of the body, the position of the weapon. That has a practical consequence: a repeating silhouette is seen in a crowd much sooner than a repeating color. The simplest way to animate a throng is therefore to mix several sets of the same line and to seat identical figures as far from one another as possible, not side by side. The second tool is orientation: a figure turned a few degrees the other way reads as a different figure. The color, on the contrary, should be kept to a narrow palette; the varied period clothing tempts one into colorfulness, but at a small scale colorfulness breaks a group up. Two or three base colors of the coats with graded lightness and one accent are enough.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who already have the first set of the line and are expanding the scene
  • Builders of large dioramas with a great number of figures
  • Collectors of historical figures in 1:72
  • Wargamers playing an early modern campaign

The figures are supplied unpainted. Paints, glue and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Both sets belong to the same numbered line, the same theme and the same scale. The second package expands the line so that identical silhouettes are not repeated in a larger scene.

With mass scenes, yes. At 1:72 scale the eye recognizes figures by the silhouette, so mixing several sets is the most effective way to animate a throng.

The number of figures and the number of poses are stated by the maker for the particular set.

Keep to a narrow palette: two or three base colors of the coats with graded lightness and one accent. Colorfulness breaks a group up optically at a small scale.
