Finally received my first bunch of Elizabethan Seadogs, formerly known as Robson clan. It's one of the smaller packs from a Border Reivers range by Vendel Miniatures. I wanted to see some samples, especially as I had my "painting problems" with Gripping Beast's stuff before - and it seems to be the same sculptor here. I'm quite pleased by the miniatures' appearance and the bunch of weapons to choose from is very appreciated. Now we'll see how these minis turn out on my painting desk...
Here's a quick shot showing the lead as it came from the bag. There are also two hounds, which were separatly purchased and will be of use as generic items for several periods. Other people may be interested, so I've added a Foundry pirate (left upper corner) for size comparison:

NB: These items have gone through kind of an odyssey, a first sending became lost. But the fine chaps of Vendel have dealt with it in a very accomodating way. Best references to them!
