17th Century Characters...mostly

 Here are some 17th Century character miniatures I finished recently. 

28mm metal, mostly from Wargamer Poland:

The odd one out is the Cossack looking  guy armed with a bolt action carbine - this is from Crooked Dice.

The assortment includes some Polish dragoons, French Musketeers and a Spanish fellow who bears a striking resemblance to the title character in the movie "Alatriste", as played by Viggo Mortensen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alatriste

The Wargamer Poland miniatures are superbly detailed, largely from their Anno 1666 range.

Those Bloody Miniatures!

 I'm not dead -yet!

I haven't posted on here for ages. Most of my work has appeared on the dreaded Facebook and the YouTubes, but not here. Things are quickly lost on FB, whether in groups or the postings of individuals. There was something to be said for the old forum formats where one could follow the progress of a posters project in a useful sort of way.....

In any case, I have been painting a great many things since I last posted here. Today I'm sharing some pictures of Bloody Miniatures - a splendid 28mm metal range suitable for the 17th century. These were painted by me, but not, for me. They were a pleasure to paint.












 


































Thanks to all who stop by to look at the blog, (not the spammers), hope you enjoyed the pictures.
All the best,
John
