What about Spaniards? There seems to be a lack of Spanish Navy miniatures of that era.

They look cracking.

I guess they are targetted at early 18thC but looking at the clothing I'm pretty sure I could used them as mid-18th C privateers as well.  Thoughts anyone?

not really convinced by the anathomy: the one with the naked feets has bigger feets than the one with the boots. MUCH bigger :)

and some pose of the firing ones are a bit... unnatural! no balance at all. :)

but still really nice sculpts, many many clothes to paint! =)

the pics have a different scale, the one with the naked feets is bigger than the other, I'll make today afternoon another shot of both minis together.

Not bad the second lot above. I was talking to Jeff at Ouotpost and he has around 12-16 new scuplts of various highwaymen, smugglers and the like with which these would fit in quite well :D

Hmm...I'm beginning to think I could mix these in with my colonial militia / border ruffians. Their clothing is probably a bit off, but I might have to turn them into Whiskey Rebellion agitators.

I think these have a really nice look about them (the foot thing aside), should prove popular  8)

Great looking figures.

Just a really, really picky point - The left hand of the the firing figures should be gripping rather than supporting the "rifle", with the thumb underneath there is nothing to stop the barrel lifting when fired ( a natural tendency with any "rifle".).  As I said, really picky.

I've always wanted to see a figure with at least four throw-away pistols strapped to him.

They look so good, can I draw your attention to these suggestions:
=> http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=250199
a rather appealing 18th C. 'female pirate captain / adventuress' and an even more... fanciful 18th C. female Assassin: both could have their way in any Pirate / Swashbuckling ('Gloire') / Gothic Horror (Carnevale http://vesper-on.com/index.php / A Touch of Evil http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35815/a-touch-of-evil-the-supernatural-game) / Horror  http://anatolisgameroom.blogspot.fr/search/label/Strange%20Aeons%2018th%20century / Pulp / Science Fiction http://www.drunkendragoonproductions.com/18thcentimagi-nation/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=81 game set in the Lace Wars era,
and
=> http://www.drunkendragoonproductions.com/18thcentimagi-nation/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=79
 an unit of Lace Wars 'she-dragoons': not only they could be fielded in Imagi-Nation armies, but they could appear as 'Marinettes' in Pirates games, as well as in Petite Guerre skirmish games (such as e.g. the episodes of the never ending struggle between Lady Pettygree and Milady de Winter played by Bill Protz -BAR and D.A.F. -Minden Miniatures-  http://campaignsingermania.blogspot.fr/search?q=pettygree: so far Bill Protz has to resort to inappropriate Hinterland Victorian Hussarettes).

I think the feet are overly large in almost all Ratnik sculpts with bare feet, and hands tend to be pretty hefty too. There's no need to emphasize the space between every toe at 28mm.
That said, the rest of the figure is usually so good I can overlook the feet.

These look pretty good and I suspect they'll be pretty popular.

Greetings


oh yeah more Pirates.

And compatible with my Foundry Mob too. Yum Yum. I'm game.
Can you place me on the buyer-list when they get out ?

Thanks a lot
