Where's the helmet from? Is it your own design?

I like that conversion very much. Would go well with my beaky marine project. Would be interested to hear how you did it, as well.

Spill the beans!! :D

I sanded off all the skull/eagle bits with my dremel.
The helmet is a metal ballbearing with the 'windows (eng.?)' sculpted on. The dril comes from an ancient old space-Playmobil powertool! :)

Title: Re: Atmospheric diving suit
Post by: oxiana on December 09, 2009, 10:19:07 AM: Very atmospheric - a nice bit of lateral thought for the conversion idea, and a suitably grubby paintjob to bring it all together. Result!

Post by: former user on December 09, 2009, 12:25:56 PM: nice - looks like something from a James Bond movie

Post by: keeper on December 09, 2009, 12:40:12 PM: Brilliant work - very nice conversion and an excellent paint job! :)
Title: Re: Atmospheric diving suit
Post by: SBRPearce on December 09, 2009, 02:49:15 PM: Beautiful work. The only thing that caught my eye is the helmet turning to the side - on an actual diving suit, the helmet was fixed at the shoulders (which is why they had windows on the sides as well).

Post by: P_Clapham on December 09, 2009, 03:47:58 PM: Agreed, Sir.

I first thought of Nemo's diving suits from 1,000 leagues under the sea.

The pictures aren't too bad either. ;)

Post by: Tacgnol on December 10, 2009, 08:33:20 AM: Very nice indeed. Who are its opponents going to be? I imagine it fighting Nazi mer-men or something!
Title: Re: Atmospheric diving suit
Post by: majorsmith on December 10, 2009, 09:45:04 AM: reminds me of something from 'xcom terror from the deep' really nice figure
Title: Re: Atmospheric diving suit
Post by: Tacgnol on December 10, 2009, 09:51:04 AM: Especially the drill-type weapon, reminds me of the Thermic Lance.

I still have dreams about those Lobstermen.
Title: Re: Atmospheric diving suit
Post by: earthdog on December 11, 2009, 02:35:00 PM: Fried Lobstermen with butter and a little garlic..mmm :P

hadn't thought about Terror of the Deep for a while, these might just work though.

Post by: Steam Flunky on January 13, 2010, 07:40:40 AM: I am playing Bioshock at the moment and decided it might make an interesting skirmish game.
Your conversion is definatly going in the right direction.
Now we just have to build the underwater city Rapture.
p.s. Nice conversion.
Title: Re: Atmospheric diving suit
Post by: area23 on January 13, 2010, 08:51:50 PM: Cool! I have to admit I have no idea what bioshock is about, apart from a deepsea diver and an underwater city. I never play videogames. But the images I've seen were very inspiring, hence the conversion...
