Vladislav advertised a selection of stunning paper soldiers and also worked a number of other projects most notably working with Charles on designs and figures of the Crimea War. It was announced October of 2016 that he had passed:

Great idea and a nice remembrance!
I also added him here:

which may be a logical place to add these pictures as well.

Hello Bernt,
Yes I have a couple of samples sent by Vlad stored somewhere also.
These are His Majesties and Her Majesties cuirassiers.

This group is Kiev Dragoons and Novorossiysk Dragoons

They are really very nice prints!
But how do they look in 3 dimension?
Should the customer himself cut the figures out - or they are delivered as cut out?
How can they "stand" - is there given any plinth to stand on?
Are they of the standard 3 cm size?
Thanks!

Right on all Sandor, They were pre-punched to a very nice standard on figure and horse as well as lance and pennants. They also had a plastic plinthe to slide the figure into, here is a couple of my examples
