Frog-like men are a theme this round, it appears!  I love the staging, Axe.  Those diving suits are awesome.  This is exactly the type of scenario I look to play in at conventions: Different, cool-looking and just by the visuals, you can tell is going to be fun!  Great job.

Oh, and bloooody shack!  >:( >:(

love the underwater setting Alone!  I think this is my favorite of your entries this LPL, really fun!
That shark is truly menacing!

Who makes the frogs?

Thanks everyone, really like this scene. I have been painting an army during the LPL this year and most of my entries were from that, so having a bonus that allowed me to paint something totally different was great! I did have this scene in my head from the start, as a friend lent me the divers. I am afraid I have no clue where they are from!

Most of the frogs/deep ones are from EM4. I have had two of them in last year but stripped and repainted them again as I wasn't ever happy with them.

The other two other frogs are by another manufacturer which I can't remember for the life of me! They are also old grenadiers from the old Cthulhu range but are being reproduced by someone. I picked them up at the Overlord the Abingdon wargammers show. From here I think?

The shark is a great white from a toy shop, that I have repainted.

The statue in the scenery is scratch build and I started it over 4 years ago as an experiment, and could never think how to finish it! You got to love the LPL.

It has made me wonder why I don't always take photos of my models like this though?

Calimero, I really like your marines, great camo and the weapons look awesome.
