That works really well. I keep meaning to sculpt something like this and this shows I would be silly to do so. Nice colouring too.

Cool!
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.

Thanks everybody!

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!  :)

Very atmospheric - a nice bit of lateral thought for the conversion idea, and a suitably grubby paintjob to bring it all together. Result!

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).

Agreed, Sir.

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

The pictures aren't too bad either.  ;)
