In one of my recent posts I introduced you to Doyle's Dockers. In this post, I introduce the man himself and some more of his gang.
Brendan Doyle
Brendan is somewhat of a dandy, although some might say (not to his scarred face of course) that his colour combinations might leave something to be desired - pink shirts with blue trousers and a green-backed waistcoat?
Enforcers
Dockers
 |
| Dave "Sergeant" Docherty and Michael "Corporal" Mills |
A few years ago two Englishmen, both veterans of the Sudan conflicts, found their way to Salutesville and ended up working for Brendan Doyle on the docks.
Dave Docherty quickly worked his way up to foreman, despite confusing other dockers by referring to the various vessels in port as "camels of the sea" and his insistence on being called "Sergeant". Clearly the hot Sudanese sun has had some permanent effects on him
Or maybe his breakdown is the result of his long association with his colleague, Michael "Corporal" Mills. It took quite some time, but Doyle has finally managed to cure Mills of his latrine digging obsession.
These figures all all from Dixon Miniatures. Docherty and Mills are from the Bootleggers pack - there should be another figure, but I can't find it. Doyle and his enforcers are the Street Gang pack.
They were all primed ready to go for AHPC 7, but I have only just got around to painting them. Which means that they qualify for Hawkins' Hill.
For Scoring
6 x 28mm foot @ 5 = 30 points
Hawkins' Hill = 30 points
Total = 60 points
Not to forget my increasingly crowded travel map:
Dave and Millsy are definitely complete dockers. Lovely work on these guys
Very nice and I particularly like the green waistcoat - fancy!
ReplyDeleteMore cool pulp figures. Wonderful brushwork Tamsin.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the figures, not so much on the map...
ReplyDeleteMaybe Millsy and Dohertys companion got fitted with cement shoes?
Lovely looking prohibition types! Great waistcoat!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
The guy in the boater is brilliant. (We used to wear boaters like that at school. Don't ask!)
ReplyDeleteGreat work Tamsin. I love the green-back vest! That's awesome, you even have a bit a fabric-style reflection on it...really well done.
ReplyDeleteSmashing work Tamsin. I think Docherty caught a bit too much sun on his travels. Mad dogs and English-men and all that.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous entry, particularly our dandy Brendan. Us this project really been on the books for more than 3years? Time flies.
