On the left is Toussaint Lafermature, a field hand on the Governor's sugar plantation. In secret Toussaint is planning a slave revolt on the island and he and his compatriots have been stealing firearms and ammunition as and when they can. Next is Rosalina. Rosalina is trusted to travel between plantations and has been carrying secret messages for Toussaint to ferment revolt across the island. Wolfgang Ewald Leo Helmuth Creutzfeldt is next. This 7' giant is known to all and sundry as 'Tiny'. Originally from Hamburg, Tiny has an excellent knack of appearing to be completely stupid as and when it suits him. On the right is Albert Tatlock, landlord of the 'Rover's Return' a tavern on one of the outlying islands. Albert is usually described as a grumpy old curmudgeon by his patrons but serves excellent porter. One of his customers, a certain Walter Gabriel refers to Albert as "that awkward old codger" and he should know!



The latest addition to the Town Watch is Captain Delphine Angua von Überwald. The other members of the Watch have been seen in an earlier post. Angua is the daughter of the Baron and Baroness of Überwald. Her surprising strength and tough attitude have made her one of the most feared officers of the Town Watch.

This cottage is the home of Madame Moulay. If you remember, she is a Soucouyant, a malignant witch believed to shed her skin by night and suck the blood of her victims. Madame Moulay has named her cottage, Mon Repos.

The Watch Tower is now complete. The base it stands on and the boat now need painting. Captain Snapcase, Bluebottle and Old Scrotingsack are heading out to sea on another Caribbean adventure. Foul Ole Ron begs on the quayside but owing to his malodorous smell, no one can get near enough to toss him a copper or two. Al Capon, the harbour-master is hoping to blast that shark out of the water with his blunderbuss.

Splendid stuff, I'm very much enjoying seeing this come together and reading the bios of all the characters. :)

Hmm, that Tiny fella looks familiar. Maybe a one time companion of the Dread Pirate Roberts?

Cracking work!

Now wait just a darn tootin' minute - did you plant that clock in the photo to go along with the Watch Tower opening?  Did ya, hunh, did ya?  ::)

Pardon, but did you name one of your characters Old Scrotumsack?  I swear that's what I read.  Really, I do.  :D

Thanks, Malamute. Plenty more on the way but my laptop has crashed, the PC Geek is reinstalling Windows and I should have it back on Monday. I will be posting more characters then.

DeRuyter, I think you may be right about the Dread Pirate Roberts!

FifteensAway, yes you are right about the clock, maybe I should have put a background in to hide that and one of my painting lights.

As to Old Scrotingsack, the various guises of the Snapcase dynasty are always served by an ancient and wrinkled family retainer. The current butler at Snapcase Hall is known to all and sundry as Old Scrotum!

I love this project, looking forward to seeing more. Really like the watchmen conversions of Trent minis combined with Anvil heads, went with the same myself!

By the look of it this seems rather to be a dolphin's fluke than a shark's tail...  ::)

Absolutely right, Michi. It is a dolphin.

Come closer friends, for to disclose this scandal, one must whisper. In times gone by, Captain Teatime Snapcase was wont to dally with the affections of one Morgan Adams. This Morgan is a feisty pirate with her own ship and crew and a rather bloodthirsty pirate to boot. Then, and this is when the scandal began, somehow Teatime encountered Verity Felicity Fotheringay-Featherstonhaugh, eldest daughter of the Governor of Islas de Pasaje de Vuelta. Struck by Cupid’s arrow, Teatime enticed the beautiful Verity (known to her intimates as Peaches) away from the family home with tales of rum, gold and adventure on the high seas.

Needless to say, Morgan was somewhat disenchanted with this development and challenged Peaches to a duel. Peaches, thinking herself a competent swordswoman, met Morgan at dawn on the beach below El Acantilados de Flatulencia. Morgan outclassed her and Peaches lost her left eye to Morgan’s rapier.

Peaches has sworn to exact revenge from Morgan. Teatime, not wanting her to lose the other eye, has employed the services of one Syrio Forel, a Spanish fencing master who has retired to Islas de Pasaje de Vuelta.

Seen here is Peaches first lesson with Syrio. Syrio has suggested that Peaches should start chasing cats to improve her speed and dexterity! Teatime observes whilst a concealed Morgan watches in consternation from the roof nearby.
