Greetings

The fellow in the white coat reminds me of the Iron Sky Villain.

And I just plan love the deep diver in the midst of these lovelies. "Will you take a picture with me. There you're a nice fellow..for a fish"  lol

Thank you much
Jo

I recognise the Freebooter one, but where are the other mermaids and the figurehead from please?

That Ilsa is a busty woman isn't she? I've never seen the exploitation film she's based on but the reference is loud and clear! The other villains are very cool as well, I particularly like the guy with the steel mask. The underwater scene is beautiful and also very unusual! Great colours and I love those bases, well done Drachenklinge! :D

thanks for the kind words! so far I wouldn't have expected it to be that clear with the votings.


from right to left:
unknown / Werner Klocke / unknown (but maybe Reaper or somthing like it) / Mr Verne is LAM (with a mini-minor conversion) / and Werner Klocke again.

I will try to find out, where the unkown are from, but I have some ideas about it. The figure-head was on my lead-pile for quite some time now (actully the reason of the LAM, anyway lol ). The mermaid on the left side is a (formerly unpainetd but) hired model ... because I was running out of mermaids for this one. ^^

I also think that the photo went much better, this time. It was in really bright daylight and also outside - butt naked under the sun! Not me, the minis.  ;D

@ bases
just before starting this team, I had a discussion with one of my colleques from the club. She always complains about my "way too normal bases" (for my gaming minis, anyway ^^), so I have to show off a bit ... sort of reputational ego-problem, ya know. Put quite some effort into it, actually.  ;)


best wishes and thank again
DK

Beautiful work here!  The figurehead is a Reaper figure as well, from the Warlord line.

I really like the scene with diver, great choice of miniatures. Well done!

A very hard choice - Jules Verne has the edge in sheer whimsy.

I am curious to know who makes the nasty Nazi figures, as I am developing a Weird War interest.

Thanks,

MIke

I think they are Pulp Figures, from (lucky for you)... Canada!  :)

Yes, the germans are from "Pulp figures" (weird menace range) except the woman wich is from the dead "Amazon miniatures".

ollv, those are some great miniatures there (especially like the guy with the metal helmet and the cleavage..  ::). Well done, mate!

Drachenklinge, that is one eye popping entry.  :o
