I need some 28mm deep sea diver figures, preferably from UK manufactuer / supplier for an underwater Saurian Safari game. Any suggestions?

Riviresco makes some; not sure if true 28mm though.

(edit)Oops! Sorry, they are in the States

Scheltrum Miniatures (UK) make two sets (VSM11 and 12) in their VSF range.

The Scheltrum ones are very nice but 25mm.

The Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company used to make some but I'm not sure if they still do. You'll need to check their site.

your search might be easier if you go up to a 54mm size and get some plastic divers.

Commodore Wells 1,

Are you sure they are 25mm? Quote taken from the Scheltrum site "This range of 28mm scale figures and vehicles is the initial release in a range of Victorian SF figures". I was going to order some but want 28mm like boggler.

Sure I've seen somewhere that someone's re-released the HLBSC ones. Can't remember who, though.

Commodore Wells 127 Oct 2009 5:54 a.m. PST

Yes, definitely 25mm; I have some of them. They look short next to 28mm but not ludicrously so if you're not too fussy.

It isn't a problem for me because I only use the Scheltrum range in my undersea games.

boggler27 Oct 2009 6:17 a.m. PST

The Scheltrum ones look ideal. Thanks. Now I think about it, they're the ones I've seen in various articles, on websites and so on, so I don't know whay I didn;'t remember them myself!

I wonder if Artizan or Copplestone realise there's a bit of a gap in the market here, along with WW2 era frogmen?

Hlbs divers are now sold by tiger miniatures I believe.

argsilverson28 Oct 2009 4:15 a.m. PST

The HLBSC divers are available by Tiger Miniatures in the UK
