I've got one. It's a frame for modular section onto which I stretcjed a large cloth of white felt.

Nice!
And your U-Boot is even nicer. I was toying around with that idea and might copy your style somewhere in the future. If that's ok with you?!

Most of the minis are Copplestone - the explorers and sledge, the Inuit hunters, the polar bear, walrus and husky. The wolves are Ral Partha, and the musk ox is from the HLBS Great White North range. The Inuit drummer and shaman are by Bear's Den. To be honest, the sculpts on those aren't fantastic but they painted up OK...

… or maybe it's because our two weeks of summer, here in Canada, are already gone?   lol

Nice, wasn't it!  lol  Actually, we're in the longest stretch of good weather we've had all year.  Over a week of sunny days, except for a brief shower on the weekend.  We're coming off the wettest summer on record, with 5 times the rain that's hit Vancouver, although I understand parts of Québec have had it worse than us! I have this picture of some poor island in the middle of the South Pacific going through its worst drought in years while we get its monsoons.

oxiana - nice figures! I've got some of those Ral Partha wolves buried somewhere, too.  Haven't thought about them in years, although I don't remember seeing the howling one.  Must also dig out my Pulp Figures 'Northland Adventurers' set one day!

Oh, and Calimero...Happy 400th, Ville de Québec.  Salut!

Those Ral Partha wolves really are great. I did quite a search to find some suitable minis, but lots of the wolf sculpts out there are very cartoonish or GW-on-steroids. Also, you often see them painted up in just  solid grey or black, when in real life their pelts are a lot more varied. More interesting to look at for my money and very quick to paint: just a couple of different washes and drybrushes and they were done in a trice! Ironically, it took ages to get a paint job I was happy with for the polar bear, and that thing is just meant to be white...

As for gaming? Well, when there's time I want to expand the collection a bit to increase the options. A Viking raiding party could place the action in Inuit Greenland (and Gripping Beast do a lovely Viking trading boat that would go a treat here), but I also fancy some Foundry mountain men and trappers to relocate the action elsewhere too. And then of course, Copplestone have just brought out that brilliant Snow Cat that's begging to be bought...
