Title: Spalah
Post by: GTX_Admin on April 06, 2025, 01:09:09 AM
No details other than they are from Ukraine so support them.

From Lutsk, according to their website: https://spalah-models.com/en/

Have a glance at their diorama section ... even if you're not into diorama making (some interesting bits of 1/35th kit to be found there too ... modern helmet types, tac vests, radios, etc.)

I've bought a few of their 3D printed figures.

Stalker related:
Scientist (https://spalah-models.com/en/fihura-1-35-vchenyi-ssp-99-ekoloh-z-vsesvitu-ihor-stalker-spalah-14635/)
Stalker with guitar (https://spalah-models.com/en/fihura-1-35-stalker-z-hitaroiu-bilia-bahattia-z-vsesvitu-ihor-stalker-spalah-16135/)

I also have their Ukrainian sniper set (https://spalah-models.com/en/fihury-1-35-ukrainska-snaiperska-para-zsu-3d-druk-12035/)

I know when I see good 3D printing and designs and these guys are top notch.

They also have the typical Ukrainian sense of humor, as this dead Russian figure shows (https://spalah-models.com/en/fihura-1-35-na-kontserti-v-kobzona-spalah-15335/). An invitation to a Kobozon concert (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Kobzon) means an invitation to die.

I also got one of their Sirius laser cut paint organizers (https://spalah-models.com/en/orhanaizer-dlia-khobi-sirius-spalah-87182/) well made, although it took a few days for the smell of the paint they used to dissipate.

All the named figures are named after real soldiers. The "Batya" figure (https://spalah-models.com/en/fihura-1-35-ukrainskyi-komandyr-shturmovoi-hrupy-batia-spalah-22135/) looks a lot like  Robert "Magyar" Brovdi:

I also like the potato peeler (https://spalah-models.com/en/nabir-fihur-1-35-ukrainskyi-soldat-na-kukhni-spalah-22635/). Somebody has to do the dirty work:

The LGR4 has been used in Ukraine:

Nice touch for a figure of a "Spud Barber".
All in all the figures look terrific

That M-119 could probably pass for a L-118 gun. Hmm...Falklands maybe?

Although not the Falklands bit, the uses by other nations on an almost identical piece of kit had crossed my mind.
Do like the Falklands idea though. A lot. 8)

That level of detail is, quite frankly, terrifying! :o
