What a cracking idea  :D I prefer the 'trooper' with the bear arms though, gives it more of a VSF feel  :)

cheers

Really well done!  I didn't realize they were space marines until I read your text.  Could you do a brief explanation of the conversion?  I would love to steal your idea.  8)

This weekend I finished the underwater explorer vehicle, the conversion are very easy, all its based in a little box and I use warhammer and mordheim pieces that the lamps and the wooden shield on the top. The crawl its an older piece of technomarine from w40k and the other pieces are carton stripes, the deodorant cap and plastic caps for the windows.
For the base, I use acuarium plants and a little conversion with jewelry plastics pieces for make the coral.

I hope you like my new craze  ;D;)

Greetings!!



















PD: I repainted the miniatures base with the same color for the vehicle, I think this color is better.

Sorry for my late reply Doomsdave, the conversion for the miniatures are very easy, almost the entire figure are an original marine, only the dive helmet is a jewelry plastic ball and I use remains (ogres box) for the oxigen barrel and orcs spear for the harpoons.

Thanks all !!!

This is almost more VSF than pulp, though  :)

The sub looks great, I like the way you elevated it above the sea floor.  I think it looks just as good for Pulp as VSF.  It has the feel of many of the crazed Pulp scientest inventions from the serial movies of the era.

Excellent idea ! I like too the naked arms one. It's look very "primitive" and give a special touch, more "Victorian" and hide very well his space marines origin.
good job
