Her Majesty's (Gawd Bless 'Er) U.N.D.I.E.S.

[keeper]

Just finished this unit of VSF submarines for the May painting competition at Sheffield Irregulars.

Victorian Sci-Fi experimental naval unit. Her Majesty's (Gawd Bless 'Er) U.N.D.I.E.S (Underwater Naval Division:Intrusion and Encounter Squad). This experimental squadron of low-cost submarines are so distrusted by the navy that they're not allowed to carry the usual naval ensigns, and instead have to sport the union flag. However, they are very effective when used against an unsuspecting enemy!!

Models are barrel subs from Shifting Lands. Flags and waves are all hand-painted. I really enjoyed painting these chaps - now I just need to find a game to use them in!!

Your C&C are most welcome.

Puts me in mind of the submersible in the "Three Musketeers" films from the 70s (the one with Michael York, Ollie Reed, etc.).

Definitely more Stuart Period Science Fiction than VSF to my mind (excepting the slightly anachronistic Union jacks - nothing that a stroke or two of white paint couldn't fix), but still nice and jolly, and none the worse for that.

Great, look very good.

B.R.A.S. and U.N.D.I.E.S whats next T.H.O.N.G.S.?

[Bako]

Oh, shush-shush! Now ee' will. Very nice, but I can imagine these bein' a tad leaky bein' Her Majesty's (Gawd Bless 'Er) U.N.D.I.E.S.

Hey Keeper,

Nice navy ya got there.  Nice, clean and crisp. :-)
I was curious the size of your models and a scale if one is viable?  :-)

I really like the name "sounds familar". ( what have I started )
Nice models and paint job.

[Hitman]

Very cool. They look great!! Thanks for sharing.

[Dr. The Viking]

Damn you I love those!

[keeper]

Thanks chaps.  And a special thanks to gamerMac for the inspiration for naming them

@BI: Yeah, they are a little leaky, but that goes with them being experimental subs

@Grimmnar: I didn't think about a scale photo - I'll take one later.  But they're about the right size for waterline one-man subs in 28mm.

[Mad Carew Snr]

LOL Brilliant name and great work Keeper
I like these very much, esp the one with the circular saw!

[Kestrel]

Wonderful! Like Mad Carew Snr I particularly approve of the circular saw submersible - And naturally like everyone else I approve of the name.

[Skrapwelder]

Great work there.

Hey Keeper,

Yeah, i wasnt sure on the scale. Cant tell from the pic.
Couldnt tell if they were for fleet action or as big as 28mm scale.
Would love to see em next to a 28mm model when you get a chance for size purposes.

But they are very snazzy. I do like em alot. And betting the buzzsaw on the front will make quick work of any enemy ship in it's path.  :-)
