From TamsinP: Down and Out In Salutesville; Sarah's Balloon 5th Ride (17 points)


Not everyone in Salutesville is benefiting from Prohibition. Just look at these three. Even the kitty looks decidedly underfed.


Most of these unfortunates find themselves hanging out near to the docks where rents for slum rooms are very low and where they can pick up odd bits of work from Brendan Doyle.




As with my previous entry, these figures are from Dixon Miniatures.



For scoring

3 x 28mm foot @ 5 = 15 points
1 x 28mm kitty @ 2 = 2 points

Total = 17 points


And my ever-more-confusing travel map:


I'm going to beg another lift (my fifth) on Sarah's Balloon, to Rousell's Sandbag, ermmm, Sandhill.

More nice work Tamsin. Need to see the docklands in action. Your mapping skills are shocking. Use a pencil and then a fineliner pen.

  9. @ Martin - thanks! I blame MS Paint for my mapping issues. That and carrying on exploring the island more than I needed to. Needless to say, the maps for any further island location visits will be much improved. :)

    @ Curt - cheers! :)

    @ Will - here, have a fishy! :)

    @ Peter D - thanks! :)

    @ Iain - cheers! :)

    @ Jamie - thanks! The "punk"? Oh, the "pink". :)

    @ Noel - cheers! I simply went with colours that suited them. :)

    @ Greg - thanks! :)
