Giuseppe Rava – Osprey Illustrator & Miniature Sculptor
November 19, 2010 12:00 AM
Over the last couple of years, Osprey fans have probably noticed the rise of a new talent amongst the Osprey illustrators. If you haven’t noticed Giuseppe’s work, take a look at some recent paintings from our Varangian Guard book.
However, as I’ve just discovered, Giuseppe’s talents don’t stop and painting. It turns out he’s also a miniature sculptor. While painting for Osprey, Giuseppe also finds time to run Testudo Miniatures, for which he does all of the sculpting. Take a look at some of his miniatures below.

Joe,
Thanks for sharing. Giuseppe does indeed do fine work! Are these figures English Civil War or Thirty Years War?

Thanks for compliments CMB.
The figures in the pictures are TYW, but they fit well in both ranges and you'll find specific references for ECW in the catalogue.
I hope this helps.

clearly shows we need more books on the TYW and ECW!
