Robin Hood - Swashbuckling Session Project

While I've blogged about the Three Musketeers collection first, it is really the King & Country Robin Hood range that drew me into collecting the larger scale models, as some of the more central characters are modeled after the 1938 "The Adventures of Robin Hood" with Errol Flynn (still the definitive Robin Hood movie in my opinion).

Conspirators assembled...
Bad Boys wear Yellow!
