AirCaptain Gosswell

Its been a while since my last post. It's been tough recently to get any quality hobby time in as other projects have been filling up my time.

The fun thing about making a little story out of these figures is trying to work them all into a coherent plot. I did the same thing when writing up an adventure for any roleplaying games that I ran. Grab some miniatures that I liked and try to stick them all in there without it being totally unbelievable. Of course with this is the added complication of trying to get the three basic shots of each figure in, front, side and back. I decided to try out a comicbook style for this one which was fun to put together if a bit more work.

I couldn't come up with a good way to add in AirCaptain Gosswell so I added a flashback and made him the alluded to tipster. He also got some new digs to take pictures in as seen in last post. On to the story...

U File: 239 Part II

The Inspector and the Bull

One more painted up. Inspector Collins was also sculpted way back when. Both he and Gordon "Bull" Sweeney are wearing Bowler hats, which I'll admit to having quite a fondness for. Probably why I painted these two up first.

 I've also come to think of the two as the mismatched main characters in a buddy cop story. Inspector Collins is the more cerebral and level headed one and of course an actual member of law enforcement. Bull (who I imagine got his nickname both for his size and his tendency to rush into things) supplies both physical muscle and connections to the criminal underworld from his prize fighting days. Together they solve crimes and try to keep each other out of too much trouble while investigating the bizarre cases in the U Files!

 Bull: "What are we looking for again?

Inspector: "The tip wasn't specific. I guess we'll know it when we see it."














Inspector: "Hmm what do you make of this strange substance in the corner?"

Bull: "You get that in these old derelicts. Vagrants you know."

Inspector: "This warehouse only burned down last week. Besides its on the inside of this wrecked crate."

Bull: " You mean some one was shipping ..."

Inspector: " Shh! Did you hear something?"
