Sitting on the Dock of the Bey or What I did today.
The first 54mm plastic figure that I've done in years. Aficionados of soft plastic AWI in either scale will recognize the base for this Barbary Pirate chief.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, 5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of Italian Greyhounds and 3 cats. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 160 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Hi Ross,
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! What make of figure is he? The whole Barbary coast thing is a special interest of mine and I love the idea of gaming something related to them in some fashion.
What are your plans for the said chap? He certainly looks as though he means business!
All the best,
DC
I think this impressive rascal is converted from a figure in the Accurate AWI American Militia set.

No plans for him David, except to hopefully send him off to NYC to play in some one else's games there.

A rum looking cove and no mistake.
