Front Rank Miniatures Question

[The Gray Ghost]

Will FR late 17th Century figures fit in with North Star/ Copplestone's original Glory Of the Sun/1672 figures?

[Captain Blood]

Pretty much. I have a mix of both:



Those are Front Rank in the foreground and a mix of FR and Copplestone GOS (now NS 1672) in the background.

The FR figures are a little bit bigger and chunkier than the Copplestone figures (yes, they are huge!) but not so that you'd notice. I am one of those pernickety types who won't mix incompatible figures by size, and I'm happy with these alongside each other. They're not a perfect match, but close enough

Hope helpful.

Your painting skills are amazing.

Hahaha, I glanced, and said "damn those are nicely painted...must be Captain Blood...".  Sure enough...

[Suber]

Wow! Those are beauty!

[Captain Blood]

Thanks 

There's lots more in my LAF 'Other stuff' gallery. I really should sort out a separate gallery for the late C17th stuff, as I have quite a few of them now...

Not wishing to derail The Gray Ghost's thread too much... () here are a few more if you haven't seen them before... Front Rank and then Copplestone (now North Star)

Too late for that after those pics

Wonderful! The colours look magnificent, bring these minis alive!

Thread necromancy- loving the colours on those 1672s! Superb buttons. :-)

Thanks Simon.

Believe it or not, almost 10 years down the line, I’ve recently added to this collection with a sizeable force of mainly Front Rank late C17th figures that RedZed has painted for me. Just need to get them based up now…

[Paul Richardson]

Absolutely fantastic painting.

Front Rank late C17th figures that RedZed has painted for me.

He's painted some for me, too, also unbased, he's very good. I also have a bunch from David Imrie. At the moment, though, I'm obsessed with the slightly earlier fashions of 1672.
