    Dear All, It passed some times from my last message, I apologize with all but it is a very hard time...but you must be happy because my crazy brain is continuing to works...

    Today I will show you the first diving suit ever done by MAN....it is called Klingert diving suit.
    Figure is based on scientific project and it will be in 54mm with a piece of harbor and in 75mm.
    I am here to reply at your doubts and questions...

    Bizarre, but strangely appealing :)

    Look forward to seeing them appear on the website - could have a lot of fun painting one up.
    The only tiny thing that looks slightly odd is the left hand which appears to be holding something not there? Easy enough fix though

    Great to see something completely different appearing (y)
    Thanks

    on the instruction you will see it has possibilities to keep a rope with a strange 1700 hook....that's why the hand is partially closed...

    That is very nice. Interesting, different, and with vignette possibilities, or maybe underwater - now there's a thought....

    I’ve done Plague Doctor, and Piccard bust..this one looks good..and I noticed the “African ranger” listed..which didn’t have a backstory for I can imagine relates to mercenary, various rather unpleasant subjects..

    Looks something many might find intersting...but that’s before knowing the full context!

    Hi there

    Always good to see you posting especially in these hard times as you say

    Well what a concept and a strangely fascinating subject ......excellent details on this based on the illustration , like the axe ..looks almost out of place ...he must have been crazy getting into this ......but like our company ...pioneering

    Something very different from Scientific Models and interesting as well

    You could as Paul says you coukd have a lot of fun painting this

    Always something special and out of the ordinary in your releases

    Thanks for sharing

    PS Leonardo d'Vinci inventions or maybe Galleao would be something to look at possibly ?

    YES they are in projects....and some are in progress, unfortunately we are a small company so we can produce one by one following some technical $$ "problems"....until we don't have a large distribution the small numbers doesn't pay big developing projects. Shop and second retailers doesn't buy our products so we are limited to a small amount of customers... We have also in storage super nice futuristic projects really existed that nobody has never developed...but.....depends by market request....right now soldier and Elf seems to be the only market that has a good following of people...so we are limited right now....

    Thats an amazing piece, first thought though, was it looks like something out a of a 1960's episode of Doctor Who, can just see William Hartnell interacting with it :LOL: . Another one for the shopping list

    I enjoy a bit of Steampunk (the wife & I even have all the gear and in normal times attend a couple of events a year). And even though this is based an actual historical design, it's a figure that really does chime well with that particular fetish (.... errr ..... sorry I mean interest :eek::cool:).

    I'm torn though between a (cheaper!) 54mm purchase, or pushing the boat out and opting for the 75mm version which might work with the equally Steampunkish Scale 75 Captain Ahab (even though he's a fictional character). Decisions, decisions!

    Nail on head. Or maybe Patrick Troughton.
