English Sailors 16-17th Century - RedBox

Blimey!!..nearly 6 weeks without a peep and now two Posts in a row!!!*

Another load of sea dogs to add to the previous 10.
Again, as with the Spanish sailors, a Tiny bit of Flash to deal with. Over at PSR the set gets bad marks for the mold but as I´ve said on previous Posts , it probably depends on which set you get.
Now they are all painted...what to use them for? Or are they all painted? After all, RedBox has a quite large range of Late Renaissance bods so it´s possible there´s more  to come :-)

*There were quite Major house renovations to deal with and a lot of our team at work are either sick or on Holiday and the early hot weather made sunbathing more fun  so I have  a couple of small excuses for not painting :-)

    Beautiful painting Paul. I find red box sculpts to be very good but the mould quality is so unreliable (even when getting 2 boxes of the same set) it can be quite off putting.

      Fortunately the two sets had very Little Flash. In the past I´ve bought sets that PSR have highly rated in Terms of the mold but mine were mostly Flash and it cost a lot of time to dig the bods out of it.

    Excellent Paul,

    Plenty of conversion possibilities too.
