The 'swimming ' figure is going quite well - I think I can make it look like it is under water, and with the addition of a few bits and pieces on the base that are reminiscent of underwater stuff, the idea should be clear enough without getting to fussy. Haven't taken a picture yet, but I will before I get stuck in with the paint. that is the part I'm really looking forward to! It is amazing how much you can enhance the form using colour/tone.
