Not Quite Dead Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Hi there! When I was a kid, I used to play to Escape from Atlantis, a boardgame quite straightforward in which you have to escape the sinking continent with your Atlanteans, while you send sea monsters, gigantic octopuses and sharks at your friends' characters. It looked exactly like this: Some times ago, I managed to stumble into a different version from this game, whose component are, generally speaking, far better looking. This version looks like this: Today, I painted the first two minis of this game. It didn't took too long and, for a scale so small, I'm quite happy with the result. Their attitude is slightly weird (especially the guy), but I love those vintage minis. If everything goes according to my plans, it should be our next painting project for the whole family. If I fail to convince them... oh boy, that means a lot of job to do! Edited January 3, 2020 by Not Quite Dead spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Quite Dead Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I had some time to get back to this painting project and made two dolphins. The yellow Atlanteans are on the way, but there's still quite a lot of them to paint. I'll make a picture of the whole crew once I'm done with them.

AndronicusVII Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 I can practically hear those minis yelling Run away! Run away! I've got an affinity for that vintage stuff too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Quite Dead Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I've just painted the two first sharks. I guess the next sensible step would be to paint bigger boats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbetsp Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 How topical. I'm reading "The Shadow of Vesuvius". The first thing Pliny the Elder did when he saw the eruption in the distance is immediately order the navy to drive straight into it because he wanted a closer look. Folks were rushing his boat wanting out of there, and he was hand waving them off. He headed on to visit friends and take a nap as it rained pumice from the sky. He planned to hike in closer when the fumes finally overcame him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Quite Dead Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 That guy was really something else! It sounds like a miracle that there is a Pliny the Young! Speaking about careless characters from the Antiquity, I was precisely reading something today about the way Pyrrho, the first sceptic used to live. That guy wouldn't have said there was an eruption ongoing, even neck deep in lava. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really like to see more if you continued painting this set? Thanks a bunch! I haven't painted since summer. I want to, but I don't have enough fuel at the end of the day. When I manage to get back at it, I'll post what I've painted here. I'd love to see your work on this too, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
