Do you know, I do remember seeing that film as a kid, can't remember much about it though.  :)

I've got loads to catch up on with sculpting as it is. Although I'd quite enjoy doing something like this, currently it would be a more likely prospect as a commission than a one off addition to our site  ;)

Dr Syn, the Scarecrow, the revenue men, smuggling in Romney Marshes. Its an excellent idea for a skirmish game. :)
 I remember planning this sometime ago and buying loads of figures. (They are all still unpainted ;))
A figure of the scarecrow would be a nice addition ;)

That does sound familiar, and interesting  :)
Just had a search on Amazon, but haven't been able to find it on DVD  :(

Hammer Films produced a version starring Peter Cushing  :D
 
The film was called Captain Clegg, (the name changed due to Disney owning the rights, it still has the Romney Marshes etc.)

I think it is on YouTube
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Foundry offers some smuggler figures that might work very well for this type of scenario. 

I purchased them thinking to run a "Moonraker" type scenario.  "Moonraker" was an old movie about ruffians on the east coast of the US (North Carolina or thereabouts) who would put up false latern (lighthouse beacon) signals to cause ships to mistake their positions and run aground, to be pillged as they broke up on the rocks.
