Early 2010's

Andrew Bleskin, Michael Presnukhin, Dmitry Shevchuk and Sergey Zlobov - all sculptors

Founded in 2003 they flourished between then and late 2013, producing whitemetal (?) figures in 54, 75 and 90mm sizes, although I've found no evidence of the 75mm figures, and only the one cowboy in 90mm. They were also offering a commissioning service, the ability to have the castings painted by a third party, and the - professionally - painted figures used for publicity shots could also be ordered.
