28mm u boat crew

 So as Christmas fast approaches I am hoping Santa brings me a U boat for our next game( doesn't everyone? LOL).

With that in mind....I did some special crew to sit on top of the u boat deck on a clear base. These guys needed tools and I found a ho-oo scale set that I was able to use for 28mm (i.e. a slightly large ho-oo is a small 28mm etc.).  So some of these I can use ...some not.





At the same time, I also took an idea from John Bonds war-gaming blog....he sparked my interest with a guy using a signal flare. Ideal for this game we are planning.
So when the flare goes off - get back to the u boat.

So the u boat crew are made from Warlord Marines with green stuff (around the boot garter, and used as a life jacket). They have the grey weatherproof shell.

The guys below are loading a torpedo into the ship. The clear base can be removed when completed.

Torpedo is a 3d print. with a wooden dowel and spare mdf squares 

On the above pic... 
I have one more guy not in the picture ... he is holding the end of the pulley line and has wire coiled between his hands and landing at his feet.

The spanners look cool on the prone guys - i recommend these tools for any engineers etc.
