1."Souvenir +" quality- is the simplest painting quality. Depicts only the basic details of the uniform or costume. These figurines are usually used as small gifts, sets by topic, for playing or by people who just started to collect miniatures.

2. "Souvenir ++ and +++" quality is a more complicated painting quality. The details of the uniform or costume are depicted more accurately. The distinctive feature of soldiers is the shadow painting (stripes instead of shading). These figures are often used in historical dioramas. The difference between ++ and +++ is in small detailes that make a miniature look like a real person if we are talking about +++.
