Olha Polah (wpolah)
Since 2015, I have been working in miniature weapons production and have started my own brand of mini firearms under the name Olha Polah.
I have been running the Instagram account for the brand wpolah_miniature_guns since 2016. I showcase my miniature gun models, exciting facts about their full-sized counterparts, and the creation process.
In 2017, a miniature 1mm Derringer was featured in the April issue of Miniature Arms Journal after an enthusiastic customer sent in information about the firearm.
2018, I acquired full brand ownership and decided to revamp its strategy. I developed an extensive range of miniatures to generate greater interest in the field and to appeal to a new audience. I also started the rebranding process and now manufacture miniature models under the name W.POLAH Miniature Guns.
Over 60 miniature weapon models are available, spanning various historical periods and budgets.
In November 2023, GunTech magazine published an interview with Olha Polah and Robert Dunn. During the interview, I discussed my background and challenges while running my business. These challenges included problems with my business partner, operating during the COVID-19 pandemic, and continuing production during times of war.
I have been running a newsletter for our brand's customers, in which I share news and interesting facts about miniature weapons every week. Despite numerous challenges, this activity has become a comprehensive magazine with in-depth articles. These articles are published in the blog section of our website, wpolah.com.
I aim to bring joy and inspiration to people's lives through engaging blog articles encouraging self-expression.
