✠O.M.R ✠ Miniatures - the new brand in the world of tin miniatures. Our project is amateur and brings together a team of history, art
and craft enthusiasts.
All our figurines are works of art and are handmade. Our historian is not only a man with a rich imagination and generator of ideas for this project, but also a major collector of tin soldiers and historical miniatures. He is constantly in close contact with leading collectors and professionals in the field.
Based on the historian's research, numerous paintings, sculptures and photographs, our talented sculptor creates each character in miniature by hand, which has not only the highest portrait likeness but also the exact uniforms, awards, insignia and even the character's height in proportion. A mixture of several brands of polymer clay, which is a personal know-how of the craftsman, is used for creating a model.
The model created from polymer clay goes to an experienced molder who makes a mold for casting our limited-edition figures. It takes a great deal of experience and skill to get the mold for the perfect figure. Then our caster creates castings of miniatures using the finest and time-tested alloys. It is worth noting that we use exclusively safe and environmentally friendly materials in our work. The resulting castings undergo a thorough visual inspection and subsequent finishing. At this stage, the craftsman eliminates all technological casting defects.
And so now, the figurines are in the hands of our ingenious artists. They breathe life into every character embodied in miniature. This is pure magic when little tin men come to life and acquire their unique nature in the hands of our artists who have a filigree technique of artistic miniature painting. We strive to follow the best traditions of the classics of miniature art, such as Jean Abell or Arturo is Arturo Armesto. Samples of their unique creative work are always in front of us and they inspire us to create beautiful characters. We recreate in miniature not only portrait images, details of sumptuous ceremonial dress uniforms, traditions of the award system of different states, but even the heraldry of our characters.
The resulting brilliance simply needs a worthy shell. And that is where our other craftsmen come in. The cabinetmaker, who is deeply in love with his work, handcrafts natural oak cases for each set of miniatures. His boxes are true masterpieces that combine the simplicity of forms, jewelry craftsmanship and indescribable natural beauty of the wood. We make our unique cases exclusively from oak using natural varnishes in various shades. Oak has always been a sacred tree for the Celts, Germans, Greeks, Slavs and many other peoples, and we believe it can breathe special power and life into our characters.
But this is not enough, our miniatures need a royal bed. It is created by our inimitable master of artistic embroidery. The small cushion sachets made of soft velvet with a miniature colored coat of arms are the work of her golden hands. Such miniature embroidery is not only a worthy frame for our miniatures but also a real piece of art.

Our entire product is filled with the spirit of vintage and traditional craftsmanship, but the high technologies of modernity also make a deserving contribution to our project. Our splendid logos are based on historical drawings and icons created by a vector graphics artist who redraws literally every detail on her tablet, transferring it onto thousands of variants of graphic drawings to obtain a single ideal result. The embroidery designs of coats of arms are a tremendous amount of creative work done by a highly specialized embroidery designer. She constructs each image of a coat of arms in special software, repeating the intricate ideas of the masters of heraldry of the old times. Very soon, all our figurines, which will become part of a limited-edition series, will have magnificent bases created by a 3D designer. Another touch is laser engraving on each case, which is a perfect combination of artistic historical tradition and progressive modern technology. Also, upon your request, each case will be embellished with a plate bearing the set owner's name.
We have worked very hard and are delighted with the results of our work, but we never stand still, we keep dreaming and creating and promise you many new designs and constant growth of our craftsmanship. We are constantly learning and growing to fill the souls of adult children, fanatics of historical miniatures, with joy. Our souls are alive as long as we dream and play with toys!
