In the queue to finish over the next month:

5 divers
2 sharks
1 octopus
1 large terrain piece
5 objective markers

Let's see if I can achieve this

As evidence that I'm back on this project, here is the next batch of figures that I'm working on:

A converted leader with knife and spear gun, another converted diver with a whaling harpoon and three divers with salvage tools. Also another shark, because you just can't have enough hostile aquatic creatures

Good to see this thread rise up from the depths again. I’ve got a load of those sharks for Spy Fi action. I got them when you could order bits from Reaper. I keep thinking I should order the set with a Tiger and Hammerhead too...

As a teaser for my next item of terrain, I bought this from my local aquarium shop (at a good discount due to some minor damage to one of the deck features):

The whole submarine is about 80cm long

I'm in the process of converting it to more 19th century lines, including removal of the conning tower and giving it a singe torpedo tube in the bow.

That looks like a challenge and a half. It'll be interesting to see what you do with it.

The final submarine will contain elements of some of these early vessels:

Looking forward to seeing what you do, mate.

Sub was a nice pick up looking forward to it being ‘Victorianised’...

Lovely! Good find. Almost seems a shame to chop it up, but all in a good cause.
