WW2 German Diver (Alternative Heads)
From Mantis Miniatures
 by Artur Miniszewski
Kit No #35181
1/35th scale
3D printed in resin
Price 17€
This first set will look great on some tye of aquatic seabed or  a docksite water scene. This WWII-era German deep sea diver is seeen in a full pressure suit with the diving helmet which was an iconic look. He could be a fascimile of the photos below , of WWII-Era suits used that this figure was modelled on...
A large photo that the sculptor used in his work to give some authenticy to this 3d design. The similarities are there on the figure from this image from the full museum suit for all to see.
You can see below that this figure has a twist - he is supplied with two head choices, one a rather grizzly one - with the skelleton of the deceased fiver who came up short or the man coming to a rest at the deck of the ship with his helmet on or off. He looks great in this painted up version (with either head - you can use both in the helmet btw...)

What we love about Artur Miniszewski from Mantis Miniatures' work is that the figures and animals all seem to tell a unified story. This set combines the sets we have already seen into one mini-diorama. The stolen loot, the man in the diving suit, the sea creatures (with mr "handsy" already with his hand on the treasure) into one scene. Great imagination makes ofr a excellent set.

These are available right now from Mantis Miniatures, they will also be available soon from their Distributors Worldwide...
