Redbox announced new sets

[marc zijp]

All at Hannants:
Chinese light cavalry 16-17th century
Chinese medium cavalry
Chines light cavalry
Korean heavy cavalry set 1
Korean heavy cavalry set 2
Korean guerrilla’s cavalry
Burgundian crossbowmen 15th century

I fancy the last Burgundian sets.

Burgundian crossbowmen!

[marc zijp]

Yep!
And hopefully in the RedBox format like the Italian or Spanish infantry sets: 12 troopers and 4 staff.
The Strelets crossbowmen set was not a real succes, so hopefully a nice set this time!

[Paul]

and hopefully with Pavise.....


.....although, thinking about it.. that would mean space taken up on the sprue and maybe less actual crossbowmen and Pavise are easy enough to make.

ooh..and depending on the poses..I´ve just had an idea !!!!!

[Fire at Will]

Typical, once I've painted my Burgundian Crossbowmen

Thanks for sharing this good news!

Some very interisting & exceptional subjects again. I sincerely hope the intriguing RedBox range is profitable & successful. Truly, they‘re constantly breaking new ground in 1/72 plastic.

Has somebody heard about the estimated release dates already?

Would be great if it would be possible to have a glimpse at some preview images!?
Any online at vk already?

On the Strelets forum HARON said in his typical short and clear words: ‘In may’.
The RedBox pre 1812 Russian infantry sets are sceduled for end this year. That’s what he mentioned on vk site. I don’t speak russian; read that here at Bennos.

Announced sets are on vk-site.
Burgundian crossbowmen got 8 poses from which 4 handgunners.
3 of 4 pavises are on standards.
It’s not the final set of crossbowmen which will make all others unnecessary, so the speak. Bit of dissapointment, although usable.

All other new RedBox sets are up too. Korean and Chinese: light, medium, heavy, and guerrilla. Think the are nice.

Not 100% what I was expecting, considering the titel but, better than nothing

[MABO]

Looks more like Burgundian Musketeers.

[J_A_]

I said the same they pretended to make handgonners or much more "primitive arquebusiers" from the 15th CENTURY while they look like 17th century musketeers,even you can put on them a 18th tricorn hat and convert them easily into minutemen or redcoats lol

[Paul]

TBH, they (the arquebusiers) don´t look too bad.

As for the Crossbowmen..also not bad but unfortunately my plans for them (other than just painting them) have been scuppered.
Hopefully Frank will make a set of crossbowmen to add to his series.
