A few new swashbucklers

Lovely work
Some of the details are amazing. The stripes and the rose and the English flag and the faces and the colours and the stripes again. Oh hell the whole lot.

Absolutely superb painting.  If I could paint but one miniature to such a standard I'd happily die tomorrow.  On another note, this reminds me of the 1588 and All That site I was looking at only last week...   Tempted; very tempted!

Gert lush!

Those colours just sing out, and I love the burnished metal of the sowrdsman's breastplate. Who makes these beauties?

My next project is almost certainly going to be 16th century based, so these are dangerous inspiration!

[Hitman]

Those figures are breath-taking!!!
 
Absolutely beautiful...thanks for sharing!!

Oh, soooo GOOD!

...these boys were edged out of the latest painting competition final by a solitary vote.

DAMN!   

I'm telling ya... a nice new group of Mohawks, set on your new terrain board, will carry the day.

[Captain Blood]

Heh Heh... Thanks Ray. Maybe one day... I shall perservere! 

Who makes these beauties?

Paul, the figures are by Mike Owen from Foundry's Sea Dogs and Swashbucklers range, although two of these, the arquebusier and the halberier were never actually released - I managed to acquire them, plus one or two other 'never released' models.
Don't ask me why Foundry in their wisdom never released them, 'cos they look alright to me!

If I was as half as good at painting as you are! Awesome paintwork!!!

[Gluteus Maximus]

Please don't say that rose was done freehand, or I really will be depressed. Surely it has to be a decal or else you've gone and signed a contract with Old Nick 

Outstanding work and I agree, your best set of figures so far 

[Captain Blood]

I'm afraid to say the Tudor Rose was indeed done freehand 
Thanks for the lovely comments 

[Admiral Benbow]

Gorgeous miniatures, Captain. I'm sure, next time against Kevin, you'll make it ...

Very nice work! I painted my first mini in about 4 years the other day and it was a looooooong way from this

I didn't game or paint for about 12 years. You should have seen the first figures I painted when I came back to wargaming!
The more you do, the better you get - providing you have the patience: which is the thing I still struggle with. 
Look forward to seeing your pics Addam666.
