Product lines

edit

Zvezda produces a large number of kits in various categories, ranging from historical collections with themes including World War I and II; The Middle Ages and the Ancient world of Greeks and Romans; to modern military models as well as a few Science fiction diorama pieces.

They also produce miniatures for their "Ring of Rule" Fantasy wargame, which is comparable to Warhammer fantasy battles from UK Games manufacturer Games Workshop/Citadel Miniatures, where players can build armies that include Elves, Dwarves, Knights and even Undead, as well as having Character units for said armies. Some of these models, much like the miniatures from other game lines, draw inspiration from common fantasy tropes, and from popular publications which include Conan The Barbarian, and Lord of the Rings.
