Red Box – 72096 – Spanish Infantry. Set 1. 16 century

Description:

Spanish Infantry. Set 1. 16 century

Box contains 40 foot figures in 16 different poses. This is devoted to arquebusiers and musketeers, in a proportion of 9 to 3 in the poses, which is quite right as Spanish army had a predilection by the arquebus even well entered the XVII century.

Red Box changes here the common four equal sprues by a three equal sprues and one unique sprue with four unique command figures, which includes a standard bearer, two musicians and one officer,

The set includes all the poses you can expect in a gunners formation of the time, marching, standing, reloading and of course, firing. Small details in the clothes suggest these figures are more appropriated for the second half of the XVI century, thought many of them can be used earlier.

Sculpture and detail is excellent, and the only we could have wish is one more millimeter height and half more millimeter width.

The two sprues included, troops and command.

Close up detail pictures reveal the quality of the sculpture and little mould flaws.
