VOC Retourship Crew ca. 1620

Here is another set of 16th-18th century European sailors in 1:72 scale.  My purpose was to crew two models of Dutch East India Company Ships that I am currently building in 1:150 scale.  One is a well known plastic kit of a famous 650-ton vessel, the other one is a smaller 200-ton vessel that I had 3D printed out for myself.  The crew include two poses of a captain or other senior officer (he is the guy wearing boots), plus many poses of crew working with rope/rigging.  Every pose comes with or without hat. This set is supposed to complement my other two sets for the same period, i.e. generic sailors and cannon crew.  The pictures show both the 1:150 and 1:72 scale versions of the figures, with half-completed paint jobs.
