I decided to go for a leisurely start for the Challenge - no point in burning myself out prematurely, so I took my time and completed a pair of 28mm Deep Sea Divers/Treasure Hunters from Brigade Games. They came in a pack of five, and I'm reserving the other three figures (one man suiting up and the other two assisting him) for my "Nautical" bonus entry.
The bases looked a little plain with just grit on them, so I snipped a few leaves off some plastic aquarium plants I had lying around, gave them a quick and heavy drybrush of citron green and superglued them to the bases.

Haha! I love these guys Bill, wonderful work. I particularly like the basework you've done for them - simple but very effective. Now we just need a shadow of a very, very large fish on the ground between them to set the mood.
10 Points - Well Done!
Great first entry Bill. Such nice, characterful figures and I do like the way you based them.
ReplyDeleteThis would have worked well for the Nautical theme.
Nice work Bill :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice figs there, Bill, will they be joined by a giant squid or trapped by a giant clam any time soon?

These are really nice, Bill. In cockney: A pair of "deep sea divers" ie 2 fivers = 10 (points rather than quid, but worth much more after that paint job).
ReplyDeleteExcellent and unexpected work
ReplyDeleteVery nice work! Especially the basing. Those seaweeds are a nice addition :)
ReplyDeleteFab. I may have something similar

ReplyDeleteNice. Just what the fish tank needs..an underwater slow mo fight to the death. cheers
ReplyDeleteAnother person off to a flying start. The plants really do look very good on the bases, they really work with the figures
ReplyDeleteSuperb, I have some divers inbound for the nautical theme too.
ReplyDeleteReally nice and different entry.
ReplyDeleteNice start!
ReplyDeleteGreat start!
ReplyDeleteWell you surely dive right in don't you ;-) Great start!
ReplyDeletea great fist entry definatly out side the norm, even in a group that has pretty broad "norms". They look quite sharp
ReplyDeleteLove the addition of the seaweed. I'm glad you have more of these for the Nautical round too.
ReplyDeleteLovely figures - the sort that have me stretching my head trying to think of an excuse to get some! Perhaps the Nautical round is excuse enough...
ReplyDeleteI agree that a giant clam would be a great addition...
I agree
Excellent work Bill, and a very unusual set of figures they are!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! They do need a Cthulu beastie to sneak up on them now! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Lovely minis and great paint-job. Looking forward to seeing the others... and the obligatory group shot :-)
ReplyDeleteUnusual figures like these make the challenge so interesting. Great job on getting them painted up and the bases look great.
ReplyDeleteNow that's something you don't see every day. Very nice indeed sir!
ReplyDeleteUnderwater minis--who would've thought? The basing is really effective!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
