Very unusual scenario, nice looking figures and I think Donnybrook was made for something like this. Looking forward to more updates and seeing the game at this years BLAM.

No, it's From Captain Clegg or Night Creatures As it was known in the States.

It's the Hammer films adaptation of Dr Syn. Its pretty faithful to the book although for some reason Dr Syn is called Dr Blyss.The Mulato is a central character to the story who is tortured and marooned on an island by Clegg/Syn. He escapes and seeks revenge.

I never noticed this thread before. Now those scarecrows in the painting club make sense! I wondered if it was some sort of (even more) sinister morris dancing thing.

This project looks great. I have never heard of Dr Syn either and can't believe I've not seen the film. The horses look great too. There is a clear-ish acrylic paint you can get in Tesco that is glow in the dark. You could always try the odd dab on the horses over the white.

Have you a figure in mind for the Mulato cos he reminds me of at least one that I can't quite place. Fantastic stuff so far. Can't wait to see more. I may have to and dig out some of the films.

I was going to hold off posting this until I had painted the figure, but seeing as how you asked!

The figure is by Ironclad Miniatures in their VSF range. I am sure the sculptor modelled the figure on the actor Milton Reid as the likeness is uncanny even down to the scars

I have the figure already and have actually changed him a fair bit by adding a Chinese queue (the book confusingly refers to him as a skinny Chinaman as well as a Mulato) so I have gone for a fusion of the film and book. He now wears a torn sailors jacket, tatty trousers and is armed with a harpoon again as per the film and book.

I'll post photos of the as yet unpainted figure tomorrow so you can see the difference.
