About a year ago I started an Adventurer’s sub-theme that I called the Rum
Runners. The first set was Midnight
Moonshine, a pickup truck and whiskey still for the Runners. The second set,
Copper’s Callbox, was for the
Lawmen.
Last night, I finished a third set, Boss’s Bentley.
Brickshelf Gallery
The car is the Crime Boss’s personal mode of transportation. It is based on the
image of a 1930’s Bentley found on this page about
W.O. Bentley.
I don’t think Bentleys of the era carried a trunk on the back like I’ve done, so
I may switch that out if I get any dark green parts that are appropriate. The
Boss seems happy with it though, and in the end that’s all that matters.
Comments welcome,

| (...) Very cool series indeed. This last car looks awesome, nice and tight design, with an overall pleasing shape and just lovely in green. Heck, I can even picture an old boarded up warehouse hiding the stills during the height of prohibition... (...) (18 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.adventurers, FTX)

| (...) Wow! These are very creative and inspiring. I love the whole line. The vehicles and sets are great construction, but you have a knack for capturing the atmosphere of the rum-runners with the addition of excellent custom figs! I really enjoy (...)
