Ruffians 7

 The next three ruffians are completed.

Here there were originally two with whips.

Now one has a meat cleaver.

As expected, the other meat cleaver transfer  lasted only one small tumble.

Now I have to consider drilling out the hand and replacing the cleaver with something else, perhaps a cat of nine tails or a simple chair leg.

I've done all six bases and included bits of burnt Hobbiton on some.

Their rocks are grey when the Hobbit's rocks are brown (if you'll excuse my rather personal comment)

As to why, I have no idea.                       Here are the bases of the previous three
                                                                       complete with bits of burnt Hobbiton.
